A what???? did i hear you say turbo???? i bluddy wish, it would only do 50 in 4th with the trailer on, swift enough without.

Yes she is clean, not a single bit of weld that i have spotted so far, one small hole under the bottom of one of the arches.

Best of all, only 2 owners, and the mileage seems genuine...... 95K!!!!!

she was kept in a heated barn, and spent a lot of time being towed (not broken down, but behind a harvesting machine while she was full of fuel and spares etc)

if youre on about the grubby line in the crease its where the plastic trim used to be on the minibus that the door came off, i think its just glue but i havent got to looking at it yet as i'm trying to sort the insides out, i'm fitting vectra seats im the back and reboarding and carpeting it out for starters, kind of a "super people carrier" to take over from my swb mk5. The only thing i'll really miss is the dash and door cards, i think the mk5 look so much smarter

yer thats what i was on about just lets the van down from the outside but im sure abit of white spirit will take care of that.

post up pics as you go along if you get the chance. always nice to see peoples ideas. (so i can nick thenm :mrgreen: )

i know what you mean about the door card the mk5 door cards do look abit better. mk3 look abit booney if you get me.

best of luck with the van mate. :D

i'm considering a dash and door swap to make the interior a mk5 as i really do prefer it, ive already got a vectra drivers seat. i'm not planning to do anything serious to her, i just want a big comfy mpv to carry us and our crap around in, but a turbo conversion does appeal
