Always good to hear from another 'eurobolter,' even if you are still the best part of 500 miles away! Your 52's running a Diesel, what engine? Don't forget to post up some pics. See you around Jock

The 52 is running (now dont laugh) a 2.5 Peugeot diesel and 5 speed box taken from a LDV post van , I know its not what you would expect , but its 30+ to the gallon, and a easy swap. I have now located a Turbo version, from a 3.5 ton gasboard van ;giving an extra 25 HP and plan to fit this soon,
I will post some pictures when i have found my way round this site , im not too hot on thease coputors yet !!!.

If fuel(gas) keeps going the way it is,a Diesel's not a bad idea! Whatever's under the hood/bonnet, you'll look good cruising down the road. I was thinking the Mercedes Sprinter engine might not be a bad swap either. You'll need to be careful with all that extra HP!   I look forward to the pics.
