am I right in saying the Karmann conversions don't come with an oven ?

 

I think the rhd ones might have  seem to remember alans having fittings for something like that but martin would know coz he knows richs' quite well

 

I think my van body is 6'8" wide so if yours is just the body and not mirrors then thats a good bit wider 

whats the bit coming out above where the cooker is do you have an extractor fan???

Yeah some of the RHD ones came with a wall mounted electric "baby belling" type oven-Rich took his out.

The sticky out thingy is a ventaxia extractor fan - small but it works :-)

As far as width is concerned, the luton is bed is a standard double so 6'6 long add on the thickness of the wall and you have the width :-) would guess the 7'5 on the sticker would include the mirrors ?

yep 944 and carrera 2 ones. mine have been micro metalflaked too

they are 6.5 j at the front and 7.5 j at the rear with a nice dish.

just get some tidy adapters and on they go (i used h and r ones.) no clearance probs and you can run fat 225 rear tyres as well!!!

try www.t3tuning.co.uk for the bits you need.

Looking mighty fine!

What you have in the shower room is what i would like to have in the Gipo, the shower floor goes up a bit on the walls.

I do not like the low shower floor in my van. Have not figured out yet how to fix it as it is also cracked.
