Awesome vehicle!!!

Do you have the D24T VW inline 6 turbo diesel engine? If so, I've had a whole bunch of the diesel Volvo models that have these, and I can connect you with a small online community that still has the parts, tools, and knowledge to keep it running. Getting parts and info on these is a real challenge nowadays. I always thought these were a super cool engine, and really enjoy working on, and driving them.

What community is that? I have a 1990 P93 D24 that im always struggling to get parts for

Been a slow winter from my conversion point of view but i'm back at it:

Progressed the shower and added an external storage box which will serve as well as a range extender
