I have a 1984, 110 van, fitted with a disco 200tdi, tranfer box, with 235/85/16s and lots of extra sound insulation . It will quite happily cruise at 65-70, but to overtake someone going just slower than I want, takes planning. Its quiet enough to listen to a radio easily . Round town and on...

I too have nozzles on the wipers, I find they work much better than the originals. I replaced the plastic tubing supplied with silicon tubes. Never had a problem with freezing. But as above use a high percentage of anti freeze and the new piping takes a few turns round heater pipes.

I clad the entire interior with flashband, filled all the spaces between any bars with camping mat then kept the whole thing in place by using interior cladding planks , a lot easier than sheet ply. Then I built a solid partition on top of the rear bulkhead , fixed behind the driver hinged...

On a 120volt American generator

Crystal lens make a big difference and look original until you get really closes.

Yes driving in Saudi is not fun, you never know which way they are going to drive at you. Their road designs are strange, based on American formats but with Saudi oddities. Like a 120kph dual carriageway built from opposite directions but miss aligned by almost a lane when they met, so there...
