I'M NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE AT THE MOMENT.
I'M HOPING TO PUT A 2L IN BUT MONEY IS RATHER SCARCE AT THE MOMENT. I HAVE A 1600 TWINPORT THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW AND THAT MAY FIND IT'S WAY INTO THE BUS.
MY PLAN IS TO GET IT RUNNING WELL AND LOOKING REASONABLE SO THAT I CAN TRY AND CONVINCE CYNDI TO SWAP IT FOR HER BRAZILIA (WHICH I LOVE). SO FAR SHE HASN'T TAKEN THE BAIT!
STILL A WAY OFF THOUGH.....
BRAKES (TOTAL OVERHAUL/REPLACEMENT)
WIRING (GOT A QUOTE FOR R7500 AND ALMOST COLLAPSED)
AND THEN OF COURSE SOUND (AS CYNDI SAYS," WHAT'S A CAR WITHOUT SOUND.")

Although a panelvan is not high in demand for these types of events I have done a few. Luckily no issues and diversions and time wasting yet.
The biggest issues are at car shows, kids climb up the ladder, people just open doors and get in and do what they want.
My lock on the cargo door has been broken by someone forcefully trying to open the locked door.
You have no idea how much this irks me... Especially kids these days that are not tought to touch only with their eyes!
And when you confront the parents about the kids touching your car with their grubby little paws, you are the bad guy! No wonder kids are so entitled and bratty! :evil:
