When I had my 1974 B1600, I used a higher ratio 90s Ford Courier diff head in it. Bolted straight into the B1600 housing, just had to swap the swap the yoke over to suit the driveshaft. Pretty sure they came in LSD options as well.

Looking good! If youre after SSR Mk2s, they're still available brand new. My mate recently bought a set 13x8.5 and 13x7.5

Pretty sure I may of owned this years ago, but I cant remember the rego number when/if i had it. 4age, Dark blue, cream interior, drop hatch with flat front conversion, Oldschool cert plate on it.

These things are underrated here. I did the same thing as you and bought one (GMC Vandura) when I did a trip around Canada and the US. Never thought much of them until I owned one. Shame they're so expensive outside of the States.

Thanks. Haha theres been plenty of debate about that. I like it, but also think it would look great in the original off white and door trim. Will definitely be staying patina for the near future though.

So I decided to bite the bullet and get a complete S13 rear floor pan, and rails. Sectioned it, and have it sitting in place. Will need custom tubs, but the rails look like they'll mount up nicely. Just need to fold up some pieces to extend the rear rail points. Rims have been welded and gave them a paint. They look orange in photos, but gold in person. I was also lucky enough to find two sets of cheeeeap tyres in the sizes I wanted. Had to try the Advans on for a look too.

Still hanging around Yea that would be the way I'd go, or there's an outfit here in Aus that do nice setups as well, called "EFI Hardware".

Yes these are about all I have of the engine.

I have a blow thru turbo A15 setup in mine. Goes really well for what it is. Will be going efi some stage though. I think the single point injection setup above would be the best way to doing it on a budget. Ive seen an old falcons single point injection unit used too.

Got the barrels finished for my wheels. Very happy with them. Unfortunately he couldn't weld them, will so get them finished by someone in Brisbane. Also have nearly finished the rack and pinion conversion.

Hey yes I think ill be going through Whitehorse CNC metal spinners here in Aus, who specialise in 3 piece wheels.

Took the star sharks to work and machined the lips off, and blasted them. Also had a play around with the barrels. Just need to find someone that can weld them in Australia, as barrel bros has now closed to customers.

So did a thing today. 13x6 all around. Looks like I'll be able to squeeze the 8.5s I want under there. Now all I need to do is figure out how to fit these under the bed so the missus doesn't see them.

Haven't done too much on this lately. Managed to pick up a S13 rear end though, so have shortened that up as much as possible. Will just be running the smaller R180 diff for space reasons. Had to notch the subframe for clearance on one of the driveshaft flanges. Should still be plenty strong enough. Also picked up some AE71 wagon struts, so will get them ready for brake upgrade and coilovers. Just a money thing at this stage. Slowly but surely.

Printed some mirrors up. Pretty happy with how they turned out. Just need to design the mirror holder piece now. Will sand these back and paint them eventually. Probably stay black, possibly grey.
