Project 888

[druggedonions]

Picked up this little red number today. Going to be converting it, either to a two or four berth depending on time and funds.

That looks alright that. Welcome to club "barn doors". You know you can load the cargo bay with a fork lift if you have barn doors.

There are a few things I've got to sort before starting on the conversion.

• Drivers window controls don't work, so got to check the loom and solenoid.
• Drivers door drops, but I'll scavenge a pair of hinges off my donor van.
• Bottom runner needs replacing, but the previous owner had one that was included.
• Central locking doesn't work, will check the wiring but might be the drivers door loom.
• Rear door has a different key. Might be swapping to a tailgate from the donor van. But will have to get it painted.
• sliding door handle needs replaced.

Ah yeah. Should they stay or should they go?
From what I can find the 888s were tailgate from factory. So not sure what happened there. My wife wants me to leave it for a few days to decontaminate. So I'll have a closer look in a few days time.

Was having a quick look on fleabay and didn't realise they went for more than tailgates.

Not a bad idea to let it sit for a few days, don't take any chances mate.

I’ve got a Alko tow bar of my donor. But it’d cost small fortune to get to Essex.
