NO THIS NOT A MD CONVERSION IT IS MY OWN THAT I DID in 1980. about the same time mark was doing one of his first conversions and i tryed to speak to him but he was a RUDE person and still is to this day and at the same time john delic (which we spoke and become good friends) from Sydneys northern beaches was building a panel van with a six cyl turbo and now that has come up for sale and thinking of buying it. DONT LET ANYONE SAY THAT THIS IS A MD BUTCHER CONVERSION THANKS
