Project Race Van

[Volvostorm]

I thought to myself, all proper race teams have a service barge, so why can't I have one?

Got this the other day, 2 owners from new, and a very good price
Its a Whitacres conversion, I've not seen another one like it


.
Electricity opening side door



Its really low mileage too


2.8 turbo diesel, with a rip-snorting 100bhp


Plans are to get the seats and tracking out, strip an old caravan and then work out what fits where, it will been a 2 berth, with cooker, fridge, sink and hopefully, a loo and finally sticker up to match the volvo.

Hope I've posted in the right section?

Ummm, what remap, this can be done with a screwdriver and MBC!

a race car always looks more professional with a matching support vehicle...........good luck with conversion

and you can recoup some of your cash by selling them seats off as well.. to pay for a nice side roll out awning..

Thats the idea but, I might buy an LPG vapour tank, to save me carrying a gas bottle (saves room to)

I'd be interested in a single seat when you strip it out, Good luck with conversion.

I just don't see the desire in those slow and over rated things! (Sorry, I used to work on them!)

But, you can say the same about an Iveco!
