Hi all,
we're in Northumberland in the UK, and we've been looking out for an all-terrain vehicle to convert into a camper. We have just bought a 1979 Volvo C306 / TGB 20 ex-Swedish military troop carrier (more recently used as a gun bus by a local shooting estate). Actually we bought two, but the second one is a non-runner to be mined for spare parts 
We're just in the happy process of getting the first truck MOT'd - fun times -
hoping it'll go through as a Class 5 private passenger vehicle.
We're thinking of converting the engine to electronic fuel injection instead of the twin carbs it currently has.
It seems quite a few people have swapped out the original B30A engines completely, so we're looking into the whys and wherefores... any advice on any of the above would be most welcome!
Cheers,
Rob & Sue

Hi you two - welcome to the Forum.
I'm sure loads of people will have an opinion and I can't wait to see what they suggest.
(Oh yes - my avatar? I was born in Northumberland)
