Hi All
As mentioned in the "welcome" section I've bought a 1997 Caravelle with the intention of turning it into a camper as a project with my eldest son Luke.
I bought the vehicle from a friend and have been trying to gather as much information as possible on the history of the van of which I'll post up here when I get photo's etc. As mentioned before, the vehicle was originally supplied with a wheelchair lift and then used by it's second owner to tow a race car trailer. The third owner converted it back to a wheelchair vehicle before my mate got it and was turned back to a caravelle!
So, having owned it for a couple of weeks and enjoying smoking round in it at weekends, we started removing the rear trim tonight with a view to start insulating at the weekend.
Some pictures of the exterior:
So trim removal last night and only one patch of welding to do at the o/s rear corner here the rear blower drain tubes exited.
One of the major plus points of this van is that my mate who I bought it off is a brilliant mechanic so structurally and mechanically on the whole,it's sound.
Removal of the ply floor tonight and welding done Friday all being well.
I'll keep this as up to date as possible and any tips or advice gratefully received.
Oh, and if anybody is interested in any interior panels or seats, let me know.
