Thankfully the bodywork is not as bad as i first thought, but after removing the loose rust, it is now missing 2 rear arches, some of the sills, an area at the top of the windscreen, most of the rain gutters, the bottoms of the doors, some of the floor, and all around the underneath at the back. So its not THAT bad ;D

Well I started looking under the plastic roof today expecting to see loads of rot and holes in the plastic, and I was amazed but only at the fact that the plastic is perfect as there is loads of rot where the rubber seal lies when the roof is down... I then decided to check over the hammock beds (yes, I did say hammocks ;D) and found that they only need a wipe down sorry no pictures of those yet, as the pictures were poor. I also stole its nose today (to check for rot), and now it looks a bit like a VW camper, only one thats shrunk in the rain P.S. - Big thank you goes out to Kirsty (scrapheapchallenge) for picking up the cooker/sink from Liverpool and meeting me on the way to Tonycocacola (BenzBoy, you have some windows coming your way .

I love it, Ive been after an early 850 van for ages but they all seem to have rusted away!
Would the engine from an Abarth A112 fit, that would give it some go...
and a set of campagnolo wheels would look the business

I would love to fit an Abarth A112 engine but I don't know if that would fit, and I doubt they are easy to come by too I have been told that an engine out of an 850 coupe would fit (and turn the right way) and these sometimes have 4-2-1 manifolds and twin carbs
