So I figured I better start a build thread for at least one of them....
I already had the camper at this point and figured I’d had enough from the engine management light of modern diesel vans so I flogged the Citroen relay and after weeks of searching through fuck knows how many turds and wrecks,I was drawn back to the first one I had seen advertised but discounted due to it having a sluggish 2.4d under the bonnet but with a genuine 135k on the clock. It was a metal fabricators van for years and years before the guy I got it off had it:
I went to look knowing at worst I could slap a turbo on it. Plenty of corrective paste and shitty paint matches but it drove great (as well as 74bhp can) and was structurally solid so i bought it for £2000 which was a bag of sand off the asking price and it was back on the drive that day from Yorkshire to Leicester:
More will follow in drive and drabs. I’ll just search through my photos and narrate what I’ve done from my phones album.
