    after waiting 4 weeks the transit arrived..sometimes you must be patient if its cheap transport..anyhow it is everything the guy i bought it from said and better..took us an hour to get it running..had spat 2 pushrods on cylinders 2 and 6 on the exhaust valve and had a dud spark plug on number 5...turns out that its a 1980 and has the cast head 250 and c4 auto,which is fine by me as they are pretty much bullit proof.



    so this past sunday we put the camper on the transit..things went smoothly and it all lined up..next sunday we will be putting a holden van fuel tank under the back as the transit one was rooted and it was in the way..securing the back down completely and wiring the tailights so we can drive it home and my mate can finish off the other mods we are doing..
