Yea its been a long road bud but we are almost there, no more leaks from the engine and just sussed out the last water one, strangely enough its a part that we have already replaced but this was before we found out about brickwerks who's parts are either genuine or extremely good copies at prices that don't sting the wallet to much.

Engine is just the basic 1.6 non turbo bud, believe its engine code cs from my research.

Cheers Nitin, it really is amazing how much the have inside them.

After I get married, Mrs Nitin wants to visit Portugal and I was telling her to go in the Prelude so I can have an awesome driving time and she can visit her home town where she was born. But now looking at this van, makes me want to hire this and take it. So much space and beds to sleep. and probably cheaper on petrol too.

Nice one ours was the 1.6 but the guy we bought it of started an aaz conversion which we are putting back together. So no futher questions :p but its nice like the way the bed has been done.

Im sure its all standard fit bud or at least as far as I've been lead to believe it all is.

How bad is the rust?
Looks pretty tide for an A reg. They do hold their value well.

Yeah all stocked up on parts new gearbox, clutch, spigot bearing etc just need to put together we had bit of issue with the pipes but really just need to know what electrics go where to be honest

@rattymcclelland here is some pics of what I'm meaning so any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Top of windscreen


Above front bumper


Arches are all like this



Between panels (believe this is just sealant?)





Here is how thin the paint has got in places


Only areas I'm worried about but it all seems solid when you hit it


This part is below the door for the gas bottle again it seems really solid when hit


Arch panel with water tank filler, there was a hole were you see the missing screw but was only about an inch, plan is to have this cut and plated again?


Not bad for a van that's on its original paint and is 30 years old this year that was also neglected in a drive for 6 to 7 years.

looks pretty solid
