eddyramrod Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Interestingly, the white van's price has come down. Not much, but the right direction at least. Neither van has any bids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirton Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 if you get a CF2 I have two of the unobtainable ball joints (at least that is what they were sold to me as) - can't remember if they are the top or botton but they aren't the same as the CF1, other is CF1 and can be found. The Opel engine was good - but maybe that was because it was low mileage because in a camper eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel wont be much fun in one of these either.I hadn't seen it but I agree with Mr Medhurst. Far too much expensive work involved in that, to leave me with effectively the wrong van given that it's a facelift diesel. Facelift I don't really want, as in I'd prefer not to; diesel I really don't want, as in I'd walk first. And anyway it isn't a plain van, it's a camper.

mk2_craig Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Is it feasible/possible to de-facelift a CF2 back to early 1970s appearance, like people do with nineties Minis and that? LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I can imagine it being possible, but it'll be a heck of a lot of welding. The front wings and bonnet are different and you'd also need the earlier metal grille panels to weld in, as the later plastic just unbolts. Bumpers and rear lights are also different. And that's before you do anything to the interior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
