Early Vs Late suspension
So my van is a 1983 with the earlier suspension brakes etc etc. My question is how much of an upgrade is the later setup? I have a donor van which is a 1989 with power steering. Both setups will need new bushes etc, just wondering if it's worth the bit if extra work to change? Thanks

Late wiring swap into early Van
Has anybody got any experience in swapping a complete wiring loom from a late van (89 caravelle) into an early Van ( 83 Devon). I have acquired a rotten 1989 caravelle parts van, which has Central locking, rev counter and the more modern fusebox. My 1983 devon campers loom is a little butchered here...

Re: Big Blue Van - Full Restoration
So I was re reading your thread, see you have doubled up on the rear arch panels? Looks like you have a factory arch under the full rear quarter panel? If so where did you source the full rear quarters and what is the fit like? I've heard some horror stories about some aftermarket rear quarters. Tha...
