Thought I would start a new thread with details of my van.
Its a 1976 Fiat 850t camper - Fiesta conversion, supplied new from Bristol, Fairfax St. One previous owner 32,000 miles. Last on the road in 1995.
The van has been stored inside so is in quite solid condition. Someone has given it a really poor rattle can paint touch up, which is a shame. So it will need some work and a new paint job.
Since collecting last year I have cleaned and generally brought the engine and engine bay back to life with new seal, remove/clean sump, repaint tinware (good condition) rad re-core, new water pump, rocker removal and clean, carb rebuild.
Before and after pic below.
This replaces a 1981 VW T25 Danbury camper I owned for 12 years, before my ex had a crash in it
(At least she was ok.)
MOT this week, 1st camping trip planned for 2 weeks time.
Problems to sort - paint and some bodywork, wont select 3rd or 4th (hope its a selector issue) re-attach interior and replace gas struts, rubbers seals, new tyres, suspension bushes
