With LPG fitted there's no reason not to daily that, without LPG daily it anyway but not as far.

Aircon might be the old style gas and difficult if not impossible to get refilled now

The size of US aircon units I bet with the less efficient modern gas it'd still be ok over here.

I’d say something more like this.





Less annoying tag line.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

How big is the rear load area on this Jo? Big enough to fit a 8x4' sheet of wood in?

I'm disappointed that you didn't buy an early Ford Econoline instead.

As an eleven year old watching any episode of CHiPs the sight of one appearing on screen was great news because it was certain to get rolled.

Just if you tickle it with a Sander :lol:
Length doors to seats is 7.9999999999999999999999999999 feet recurring

You would be better off with a 127" wheelbase which is which is 9.4 feet

All around 5.8 feet wide

Shorty models were mainly sold to vanners commercially most went for the middle sized 127" wheelbase.

Talking on sheets of ply :roll:

Made a start on stripping the 46 year old ply out of the back of the van today 🤮
Some of it is OK some of its gross!

Image

Image

Image

Will be starting again with fresh Marine Ply and new sound deadening.
Under the ply there's a mixture of 70's Rockwool

Image

And polystyrene its all coming out and going in the Bin.

Image

Sad thing is whoever fitted the van out back in the day put rockwool down in the bottoms of the rear and side cargo doors

Image

One even has its own spore farm :roll:

Image

And as a result has rotted out some of the bottoms of the door frames 🙁
you can just about make out the bottom of this one is going from the inner face

Image

But its even worse from underneath

Image

the other side doesn't look as bad but start grinding and I bet it is :roll:

Image

And the cab doors I have one mint,one not so :roll:

Image

but the good news is drivers side is mint and they normally go so drivers doors normally cost more money and this the passenger side are cheaper :mrgreen:
Annoying thing is Ive found a better door for the worst rear but though its not far enough to stop me normally going getting it its too far because of the bullshit lockdown :twisted:

When its fixed and made good again I will put new modern sound deadening in the doors but now in the bottom few inches.
hoping to have it stripped out and some of it in the bin for the weekend so I can have the basic metal structure to clean out and degrease. :mrgreen:
