Hi, My sliding door is in poor condition and removing it to repair is the next job/start of bodywork. But that will now wait till After taking the engine out again because it has no oil pressure :( (i think there is sludge blockage in crankshaft). I need it to run to turn it around to get to that side. Anyway, the door hangs from 2 heavy 'trolleys' that go in the roof channel and also has two light guide wheels on the bottom that hook under the sill to stop it swinging outwards. Good luck finding one!

Hi Kyle, what is the work range for oil pressure? And about the sliding door, then it is a similar system to the Bedford Van?

1500 engine parts are more common than you might think, as it is used in many other Fiats of the era, and it came with two (both seized😢). I had to replace piston rings on the least bad block and it turns out it was already 'upgraded' with early honda civic/ mazda b1600 pistons, which (aparrently) was a common trick also for the 1608 twin cam! Any van specific parts tho, not so much, so happy this was mostly complete
