I love it, the only things I would add would be a pair of French plates and some bakery signwriting, en Français, naturellement!

That's one of the best sleepers I've ever seen. Agree with the Boulangerie signwriting, although it looks great as is...

awesome stuff. Quick query with the stethoscope.... where do you actually mount it to? LOL The stethoscope is bolted to the head where the lifting eye bolts on to the outer cylinder, as seen in this pic if you look carefully. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v19/brigsy/DSC_0071.jpg) Thanks for the comments all ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Ill be taking it round mallory paul, should have suspension sorted by then, looking forward to it! Minor update, fitted a black raider carpet to the front inside. stops my feet sliding all over the o.e lino stuff!

Absolutely love the van! It makes me feel all warm inside when people take vans which would be doomed to a life of rust and abuse, and look after them and make them unique. If only my polo breadvan had an engine bay as awesome as that!

Possibly mate, haven't been down avon for a while need to get down there at some point. Might give it a run down santa pod on sat night special this month before i pull the engine out to fit a hotter cam in it.
Conrad its lowered on shocks/springs at the front, Torsion bar rear. Could be a lot lower than it is but i like the speed bump friendly height it is now. Front is -30mm & rear is -80 iirc. Still quite useable as a van, ive used it for boot sales & picking stuff up!
