My 1971 Low Light camper

Sadly this camper had already had a Ford V6 conversion done when I bought it a few weeks back...so it'll have to stay water-cooled with a 2L Golf motor going in soon...

This camper had very little rust for its age luckily, and I try and do a basic restoration on the vehicles I buy while avoiding a too costly full restoration. It's sad how some people let their classics go downhill though...
