Well alot of you know the van but its due to be changed quite alot so thought i better show you all were its going.

I only reali bought it spur of the moment but glad i did

was a 300 mile round trip to get it

the van wasnt reali in the condition i thought but for the price i want coming back without it

Basicly my plans are to turn it into a bit of a sleeper

the engine is nearly done so should be on the road soon engine specs are.

1.4 abd bottom end

lightened and balenced crank also knife edged

lightned and balanced fly wheel

ported and polished Gt head

cbr600 bike carbs with facet fuel pump

crane high lift cam

vernier pully

only need piston rings to finish engine.

I already had a safty devices roll cage so that went in along with my bucket seats

i have a spare dash and door cardsready to be sent away to be flocked

going to be run on 13x7 ally cats

and be painted satin:)

Sorry for the crap images:)

So the pics from the advert

Took a couple of pics when i got it home as you do:)

thought id try some 16s on it for a laugh

then cage seats and wheels went on

then a random couple of shots

The Daily golf

Those wheels are chavtastic to the extreme . Also that floor looks poorly built, it looks like longer pieces of wood are running length ways which they really shouldn't. The longer pieces should always run from side to side.

To be fair to who ever done the floor its a reali good job looks like the frame underneath had some time put into it will look fine once its covered in something

and as for the wheels they came on a car i bought and are being sold asap lol

I's love one of these if i could find a little minter!

Looks like a NZ engine too me? Cant understand why its listed as 1043cc ?

Probably just had a dead 1 lire swapped out for whatever they laid their hands on first and never declared. I've never seen a van that didn't start life as a 1 litre.
