Hi Mandorla,

You need to show us your bus! So is it all converted?

This is exactly what this forum is for. I'm really glad you came :) There are so many vanners knocking about Europe, but the only time we really meet are festivals and stuff.

Maybe I'll see you around next winter

And welcome :)

Nice! welcome to the forums Dave

Love that you travelled in your van before converting it haha. I remember seriously considering this when I was so desperate to go.

What are the problems with the van? It must have loads of life left in it, no?

Sounds like you've had a real good time travelling the world. Did you go to the Ukraine in the van?

Anyway, feel free to get some photos up of your van in the conversion section. I'm sure other's would like to see it as well

Nice one Rob, someone else also gave me the advice not to expand the forums too early  ::)

I don't know, it makes sense in my mind - there are two distinct stages: conversion and travel... then common room for off topic. What do you think the subs should be?

And about the moderators, yeah this will probably happen at some point

Hey, and welcome

That's a good idea! and eventually a general 'for sale' area? but I think for now, until it gets a bit busier it's OK in this forum.

I'm sure there are a few more LDV owners about

Love this van! nice big windows as well, but as you say that can have its downsides. You could always blank one out if you really needed though. It's good that it has been undersealed by the previous owner. Yeah headgasket is a job, but if that's all that is wrong then I think it's good.

Yeah I'll take your advice about the forums. I totally agree. Thanks for testing it out and your offer of help. Well, we'll see what happens. I'm keen to put the work in though. I really think a forum is what is needed, but I know it can be a very tough and long thing to start.

Hey Jimmy, congrats on being the first member to post  :)

So is the van running all OK now? How is it for rust?

Would be nice to follow the progress.

Yeah I'm not sure when to tell everyone about the forums. Did it all work OK for you? anything you'd change?
