nuh mines off the road, check out my gallery, not gunna get it reregistered till well after xmas, don't need the extra bill so close to the money spending time of year, now the missus has reicarnttaed her idea of buying a caravan to head north for a while, but good news we're using the beddie as a tow vehicle, still undecided what way engine to put back in, 3.3 efi is my choice cause i got one, dunno how it would go handling towing though, took the 253 out cause of over heating concerns, I'll pop in one day next week , be good to get anothers opinion,

yeah no worries, personally i would go the 3.3 but will chat bout that next week then.

smooth power, fuel economy blah blah

but 253 maybe easier for parts???

does anyone know approx of course, how many swb vans there were with sliders for front doors
did the posties actually use these coz i thought they prob would use the lwb with the dual rear wheels. mine would be better for light courier work..


also it looks as if the sliding doors and the swing doors could be swapped with the replacement of hinges, latches and fitting/removal of the slide rails???

does this sound correct? also just to add. i havent sat in a bedford with swing doors.

thanks

Ben
