Re: Elizabeth

Looks great to me too 8-)

Re: My 1967 Carawagon (no name yet!)

I'm amazed how quick you are putting this together :o Does the disco engine use the original engine mounts ?? I've got a 300 tdi defender unit lined up for my conversion but I'm a bit nervous of starting :stars: I thought I'd remove existing mounts and then fit defender items as per the original cha...
