Hi, we're about to start to restore our 1972 850T camper. If we were ruthless it is too far gone to save, but we're not, and we're determined to get it back on the road as our ultimate van.
I've collected as many panels as I can, but am stuck for doors and some other bits. Any suggestions - does anyone know of any secret stocks lying in a garage, or complete spares vans taking up space? Long shot I know, but I'm desparate! Will try ricambio - just thought of that.
Also, has anyone any experience of improving the gearing? I believe there is a higher final drive available which lowers revs slightly, but does anyone know of even bolder options - any way to make a 5 speed fit? I heard of someone who had fitted a 5 speed Skoda box.
Thanks!
David
