Hi all, New to forum,own a 1968 ex fire van,had van just under two years now,vans been my sole transport for about 15 months now,ive left the outside/ mechanics standard(although looking to change axle ratio in future) and from bulkhead back turned it into a camper inside. Since ive had van and registered it in Uk its been to France,Spain and Portugal,van had 14kkm when i bought it,its now on 25 k,meachanically ive renewed rear brakes,rear box replaced cylinder heads with rebuilt lead free ones(original ones valve seats gave up in Spain!),rest has just been general maintenance whilst travelling.Its just completed a trip from Spain to Uk and back to Spain via France with new heads faultlessly. Ive fitted wheelarch liners in ally to keep underside as it is(rustfree!)and had rear arches repainted,together with the o/s front wing repainted(arches were stone chipped,front wing had been repainted at some point before i got van,paint was a bad match). Its the second mk1 ive had,(my personal favorite Transit),the first was a1972 Canterbury Camper i had to let go of at the time. This one not going anywhere without me driving it in the near future!

It's an olde skool forum, you will need a photo sharing app like photobucket...upload then copy and paste URL...failing that, open your window at 3pm weekday, borrow a small child and get them to do it all for you

Hi all, Is there anyone out there that can help load pictures in photobucket account onto this thread,I got some pics onto photobucket,set id etc,but cant seem to get my head round how to get them onto post here,linking between apps/sites is just something im a total novice at(spent years shying away from the web,only just admitted to myself its a nessesary,and got ipad with wifi) and have no experience moving files around from site to site,or links etc.Im in Spain at moment(and for near future),still only learning basic Spanish,the area im in has its own dialect,so translations a problem,ie local computer litereate kids arnt literate in english(spoken or written). Dont mind passing photobuket id on,or i know how to email pics. Was up to 4 lastnite,and have been trying since 10 today,its time to admit defeat.....
