This is the amby i got of Tony (midniteclassix) i was origanally going to scrap it and steal the engine for my mk1 - but after a quick look round it seems pritty tidy and "too good to scrap" :shock:

i think i'll have that engraved on my gravestone

- anyone who knows me will understand :lol:

The engine is still coming out but it wouldn't be a problem to chuck another engine in!! the millage shows 50k dunno if its 150k but i could believe 50K judging by the interior - but how many miles do they do before leaving service :?:

and the best bit!!!

yep a little wheelspin as i set off - partly due to a sticking throttle tho :lol:

im sure the engine would benifit from a service 3 yrs stood it really be making full power :shock:

so i'd guess more to come - certanly more to come with a 24v cossy there instead!!! :twisted:

The Amby would make a nice camper, loads of room

yep thats what i think, its very efficient with the space it has, standing room too!!

at the moment im using the van to store spares in - and wont be getting rid for some time! as i come across bits it needs i'll fit them - ive allready got the mirrors, it didnt have the headlights when i got it - ive also got a better grill and bumper to fit!!

I did try to tempt Will to have it and convert it to a camper but he's a busy man!!

If anyone reading this fancy's it to do a camper conversion on it, it will be for sale, just not with a v6 engine i'll fit a 2.0 pinto!!

- i'll not put it in the for sale section cos it's a bit inconvenient to get rid just yet!!
