dubs44 on here was selling everything to do a mfi rst conversion with mint bits and 2 bottom ends and head with kent cam, filter and chipped ecu

that would get you 180bhp when fitted and set up

More than what a van is worth, dont buy an RS as a whole..... if you do you're better of doing a resto on that.

Personally i'd keep the van standard if i was to buy one. Not many remain these days, and those that are have been toyed around so much.
