That question is so hard to answer mate, as they really are only worth what some one is prepared to pay.

Just be careful looking at it and make sure conversion has been properly, as with most, they are bodged badly.

But don't let that put you off it, just pay less, look at the first pages of this thread, this had an RS engine in it but it fell out lol

I had to strip van down to bare shell and start again, worth it though as they are such a laugh!

And rare, done up RS van, mine tends to stop traffic a lot when I am out in it, love it.

Now just the back to sort, I don't get any arch scrub but the back does sway, the leaf springs wallow on bends, so I am fabricating a tramp bar set up on the back to eliminate this too, next few weeks should have that sorted.

Has some carbon dashes made for Lucifer 2 and there was one left over, well it was the first out the mould so wasn't 100% but still ace!

I have decided to put it in the Pikey lol

I have no need for clock and most switches so all I have left to do is cut holes for heater switches and then I'll have rear fog on a push button. I have done away with middle vents, heat will just blow into cab etc...

What ya think?

I have been doing some DIY recently, needing to ask some friends to borrow vans with roof racks was becoming a head ache so I bought one for the Pikey Van lol

Me and my lad drove up to Wrexham today to collect this one I got off of ebay, people hated being over tuck on the way home by a van with a roof rack lol

But, I think it looks good.
