My old mk1 coachbuilt camper

[Luke]

Here's a piccy of my old mk1 camper now fitted with a Di and converted to independant front suspention and rack and pinion steering!

Now in the carefull hands of my good mate Bob - he's carrying on with the rolling restoration!! While still clocking up the miles!!
and the dog's my GSP called Tia
future plans include a front respray in blue (the camper not the dog )

Thank god! I don't think that Tia would look good in blue! What's a GSP? Do you mean GSD, German Shepherd?

[Luke]

nearly!! German Shorthaired Pointer! Ace dog

Ah yes, simular to a Wiemeramer I think, with a different paint job (not blue though, that is a Wiemeramer does come in blue!)

How's the steering wheel doing? your old one cleaned up nicely, oh and the wing mirror polished up really well, when will we see her in blue, best wishes from the Glendale admirers society.

i met Luke at the classic camper club national rally last year, he liked the mk2 steering wheel fitted in my mk1 and i wanted his mk1 wheel to try and put some origanality back into my much messed about (by the previous owner) camper he also very kindley gave me a chrome wing mirror that is now proudley fitted.

[Luke]

Oh i see It was Bob S who swapped wheels with you not me I'd have kept that wheel!! He's a muppet swapping that wheel it was mint and i spent ages fitting it to the new steering column!!!!

[madmark]

guys i am confused are we talking mk1 wheel back to mk1 and mk2 wheel were it should be mk2?????

[Luke]

Ok mark when i owned the van i put the mk3 column on complete with mk3 wheel i thought it spoilt the van (looked to modern) so i modified the column to accept the mk1 wheel - which i fitted and when i sold the van to bob s he swapped the mk1 wheel with tankman!
But i can't wait to see her in blue either - i did a lot of miles in that van (unfortunatly i had to get rid of it not enough space for all our kids - ive now got a peugeot camper )

[madmark]

luke you cant beat a good mk1 steering wheel mate ! you need to trade the pug camper in and get a herald td auto ha ha
