Redline expressed interest in my van (sorry no pix survive of the hogged bike)
The van was a '71' CF (ex 2.0lt). It gained a B27E (V6) with K jetronic and a BW55 auto box. Amongst other robbed Volvo bits were early 300 rear lamps (mounted vertically), load levelling rear suspension, Volvo R Sport dash cluster (the 200 series type with 6 dials). 260 rad, 200 grill, lots of Volvo electrics etc.etc. Also H/C running water, fridge (for the beer), cooker etc.
I was a founder menber of 'Insanity Vans' in Suffolk and we travelled all over
France ,Belgiun, and Holland showing Johnny foreigner how to party. You could do that in the eighties you know !! (we even got banned from Townsend Toreson - but thats another story).



The following show the engine going in.



Another odd creation (I used to have a workshop on a farm).
Anyone remember the BMC JU250 ? - not one like this you don't.!!




Finally at the European Truck-in near Antwerp in '81' (yes I had hair then).

And at 'Insanity Vans' Radiation Run in '83' (held next to Sizewell A Nuclear power station) - Strange mutated beings (me and the wife) emerge from the darkness to terrorise the local community! (outfits dyed with flouescent compound so they glowed in the dark). The local pub freaked. !!

Who said I was the nearest thing to 'normal' round here ??
