RUNAMUCK

That would get too sweaty. Plus it would lull you into a false sence of security. With no seatbelts in the back, you'll need to be held in your seats by the clutching of your butt cheeks in terror. (thats an actual quote from a freind of mine who once rode in the back seat of my old 1200 coupe with the exact A15 in my car now. except before it was supercharged. If you cunts is lucky, I'll fit a radio and a heater to the beast over easter.

Sweet Val bro. Where'd ya score that chrysler blue engine paint from? It's fucking good to see another mopar on the forum. Do a skid!

How Ironic. My 1200 needs thousands of hours/dollars of panel work too. It's raw and nasty. I'm gonna bring some earplugs for the hapless souls who roll with I.

As discussed by txt today Ky, if we chuck some luggage on andys ute for the return trip, there'll be a spare seat for you in the 1200.

I saw one of these vans on saturday which had had an RB20det fitted to it. It had to have a custom plenium made for it to clear the seat.

I figured gas was the responsibility of the persons traveling in each vehicle. I don't have a shit show of carting that motor sorry KK. Dirty old Andy Gal has a ute though..........

I feel you should Hemi my good man. The dodgyer you look, the more you'll draw attention away from my pig bait shit heap. lol Plus thursday is less sus than friday.

Exellent!

I don't have a build thread! lol I've been meaning to start one since ages ago.

None of you sad bastards down for some convy "A" action? It means an extra night OTP.

Alcohol wouldn't pass my lips KK! (Except on days that end in a y) I'm thinking of taking an extra coil outta the fronts. I might need to borrow some wheels with smaller tyres for the rear. The 205/60/13's get raped by the guards with a load on. Hopefully leppas meshies will clear. It does look pretty sweet since I fitted the blocks to the rear.

Not in that PCD sorry. Decent chance I wont be racing. I can't afford to fuck my car so close to the nats. I've broken stuff two outta my last three outings there. Probably head out for a look though.

A few of the NZdatsun crowd have used silway panel and paint. They're someone out of town though I think?

My dad bort a silver fox xw gt brand new. I'm not a ford man, but I do wish he still owned it.

It's actually quite easy to move the leaf springs inboard on these vals, which free's up lots of space for rubber. There was a really sweet blue VG from nelson with a 440 running at the nitro sunday meet at ruapuna which had had this mod. The poxy local content laws that the Aussies had have made life hard (read expensive) for people like us. Don't be too quick to go 9" though. I've heard of guys running 11's with the Type 78 diff running the four spider center and 28 spline axles. And people have run slower after going the the ford diff due to the increased driveline losses. But that said constant breakages suck the sweat off a dead dogs balls.

The AP5 had a different heater to the 6/c/e/f/g's. The hard part would be tracking down the VC heater controls. IMO, the VCs had the better heater controls than the earlier cars. They have three knobs to match the cigi lighter. One controls the fan, one controls the heat/demist, and one operates the the heater valve. Pretty much no val has a working oriinal heater valve. Best bet is to fit a ball valve under the dash, and just have sumer and winter settings.

Fully sick Val Cletus.

There is also a hose of a similar size on the inlet manifold just below the carb which goes to the block. This has the PCV valve attached.

The holley wont be original equipment. The holley 1920 was fitted to AP's but I'm pretty sure the VC's had the carter as standard. I wish my VC had been as mint as that. Mine looked like it belonged to a gang. That is one sweet wagon. I hope you're bringing it to the nats?

Delete everything bar the booster, crank breathers, and vac advance. I'm not really very familar with all the bullshit that the later Van motors were diseased with. I might have a spare zhorst manifold without the rebreather crap on it. I might have a car inlet manifold too.

With the old school mixers, duel feul is a wank. My old man ran duel fuel on both his XW and his XD work utes. YOu can get it to run okay, on one, and average on the other. I'd just dedicate. A bloke at work is going to give me a complete Impco set up for nix. So I'm only gonna get stung for a tank retest, and a few other incidentals. LPG loves high compression. So An engine built and tuned for gas should go good, and retrun decent mileage.

I actually know the bloke who owns that place. We were mates back in the day when we were young lunitics. He works out of the Johns rd garage though. Go see the guys at Johns rd, and casually mention that the guy wouldn't do your check. I'm sure that my mate, or his business partner will be unhappy to hear that. I took my old VF valiant to the richmond garage in petrie st (now completely fucked from the quake) after getting rolled with no wof of rego on a friday night. Pulled up, and said, hey I need a wof. And he said, I don't want to see this car. Take it to VTNZ. VTNZ raped it with a barbed wire dildo. (Full page of defects) But I got a WOF in the end. (They actually missed the widened steelies too) Not bad for a car I paid a hundy bucks for.

So who else is gonna join the thrusday arvo convoy of epic GC-ness? props for meeting us at das fairy terminal KK. Otherwise we'd end up getting all lost and shit. I heard that in the north island they have some roads which have two lanes going in each direction! That would be too much for a hillbilly from the south like me...........

Where is the build thread for said VC? I owned a really dodgey mattyB one back in the day.
