Re: Is this worth saving?
Odd how the prices vary - here in PTA we pay around R300-00 for the day, with insurance, for a trailer
If it's too low, you're too old

Re: Is this worth saving?
Trailer has been booked and straps ready. All I need to do now is close my eyes, open my eyes and it's Saterday morning so I can go get my van!!!!!!!Springer wrote:Right next step just book A trailer. Have you got the load straps sorted?
I'm getting excited for you!!!
Time is draging! I don't want to wait till Saterday. Maybe I should get out of the office for a while and go get some pictures of the van.....

Re: Is this worth saving?
back from my "work break".
Here are some pics of my van.
I don't know why anybody would paint any car/van/anything this colour
That will change in time...
I'll take more on Saterday

That is a chassis crossmember. It is very easy to make a new one and replace it.

Re: Is this worth saving?
"Roll" is all it's gonna do - the engine is in a zillion parts inside the bus 
There are four steering wheels - all on the cab floor. We had to steer it with a Vise Grip! But it's in fairly good condition, needs some body work and a coat of paint, few other bits, should be ready by next weekend. Or perhaps not...

Re: Is this worth saving?
Coop - Truer works I can't think of.
I have many ideas as to what I would like to do with the van, but I will start by sorting out the bodywork. The one barn door has worked hard over the years and there is some rust that need s attention.
I spent 10 minutes yesterday afternoon to remove the engine parts - there seems to be enough parts for 1.5 engines.
I also pulled out the blue carpet that was in there.

Re: Is this worth saving?
Do I continue with this Project here or do I now move it to the "Projects" section?
When/where is the camp out?
Where can I get more info on these vans? I understood that they came out with a 1600cc, but according to the parts I found inside and the original reg papers, it is a 1800cc with 31kw? Info anyone?
