Well i went and looked at this today and as Eirebus mentioned about rust, bygod was there rust and plenty of it. It had been undersealed at some point onto the rust. She would have needed a pile of work to pass a test so i left it . Also the driving position is odd to say the least. Your sitting straight in the seat in front of the steering wheel and your legs must go over about 6 inches the left to get at the pedals, much like an old Fiat 127 i drove years ago. Could have been a nice enough van in the day but now id say there is better.
While im on the subject, i have a 2003 Toyota Hiace panel van here at home currently signed off the road.
What are the merits of converting that van into a camper or is it worth the hassle? I would appreciate advice from the more experienced among the members, the real cost of getting certification for gas and electric and general things needed to convert a panel van. I am quite capable of doing the work myself as i am a self employed carpenter , stair maker , and all that type of work. The doing of it is not a problem, it is the what to do and best way to do it legally so as to be able to reclass it as a camper and be safe to use on the road. All advice greatfully recieved.
John.
