No real sounds at the moment. Just a crappy deal extreme amp and some 5 inch speakers in the front. Not doing a huge amount to the interior till winter then ill strip it all out and make a dash for a propper stereo etc and re-carpet.

I hope you realize that this van needs a 12a monsta J. Running premix, Nikki 4-barrel (unjetted) and a 4 speed box.
Dualies on the back. And everything else exactly as it is.
I have actually contemplated this. Rotary cant be any more unreliable that an english donk right? hahaha

Thought it was about time to start a project thread.
Picked her up from the mighty tardme in chch. Drove her home and on the way up the gearbox started doing funny things. Fun. After some research and a mate coming over turns out they run the same gear box as a MGA and he happened to know where one was. Got the box at a steal. $350 balloons then over a month started fettling.
Got her up in the air and the first thing i noticed was this.
god knows what they were thinking. ha.
Then under all the mud along the rear was a bit of cancer.
I'm going to jet wash the rest of the underside this weekend and scope out how bad the rest it.
While pulling out the old gear box checked over the hoses.
Have replaced the hose and slave cylinder at the same time, (no pics yet)
The thing was dropping oil like nothing else i've owed the whole way back so again while it was up in the air had a look see and found this.
Some on in their great wisdom had tried to repair an oil line with solder. Pissing out so pulled that out and braised it up. leak fixed.
After that fitted the good gear box. Turned it over and the fork was hitting the fly wheel so off it came again and fitted the one off the old box.
Drive shaft was about 200mm too long so got a spare and took it to Drive Inn (at xsspeed recomendation) great guys. The one i sent them was dented so they couldn't use it. He then quoted for him to use the bits he could and build a new one 3oo + gst. Very reasonable.
After a week it was back and back on the van. Few earthing issues sorted and fresh oil all round and shes alive. (will update with pics in the next few day of gearbox etc.

Just install a standard head unit in your glove box?
No glove box just an open dash. Amp is the way to go I think.
Thanks for your help guys. Hadn't even thought of that.
