[QUOTE="gingermonkey321, post: 606383, member: 27353"] Dear all...so I just drove my newly acquired '71 bay down from Scotland after picking it up from the family of a guy who had it (and for half of every year lived in) for over 45 years. He sadly recently died, but the van was kept in very good order with so much of the work being done himself. He kept a notebook dated and mileage logged for every bit of work done over those years and I have almost every MOT cert since 74, incredible. There are more unknown switches and electric mods, not to mention the entire interior covered in carpet tiles (for insulation assuming). I won't even mention the home made hi top... Drove well with not a grumble, a smile on my face all the way... now safely installed at home ready to start the fun stuff. First job is getting some seat belts in the back for my two junior team members who are beside themselves giddy with their new friend. Will get some pics up when I work out how but in the meantime thanks for such a great forum, it gave me the confidence to realise a lifelong dream to have my own van. Anyone in the Hudds / Holmfirth area do say hello! [/QUOTE]
