This thing absolutely flew.

I did a few trips with it about 3 years ago, from memory it was really well set up for Touring and had every accessory and home made gizmo known to man.

Looks like a great project :cool:

5K - as advertised- its still advertised I think, but the webmaster there is doing about 6 jobs at the mo.
My County's wiring is a nightmare and this one didnt have factory air so I can re install the vents. Simpler, if thats the word, to swap the good body over. I'll put it in projects as I go.
Here is the link to LROCV, its accessable to the public, as I forgot my password long time ago.:angel:
