Mr.Mk1 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Discussion Thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/23741-filthy-ones-f1000-van-from-mrmk1/?hl=bongo Hey all and Welcome. This is ma Bongo van I picked up rather cheap on Wednesday. It was love at first sight and i couldnt leave it rotting away in the paddock so I snapped it up, if nothing else its cheap storage haha. Its Supposed to be a 1000cc rear engined beast Running through a 4speed box, has Independant Rear Suspension, Body over Chassis Setup, so ya can unbolt the body and take it off. The photos are as it was as soon as I got it, now ive cleaned it out and scraped the many species of lichen and moss off it, also got a Dr. Hibbert with an afro figurine hangin from the mirror. Im thinking it would suit a rotary conversion, Dirty old Bridgeport in a random as van like this would surely crack a few grins from onlookers. Going to straighten out the hubcaps and paint the rims, chuck a set of whitewalls on and slam the shit out of it. Will do a random as restitch of upholstery and some couch action in the back, mega sounds install, Disco ball, the usual Not entirely sure about the paint scheme, But id like to rock the two tone again. 2 tone brown? yellow and black bumblebee steez? Mystery Machine guise? Whatever I do, its going to be a while off as the Escort takes priority. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mk1 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hey, ive been net-slack lately, but the van is racing along, random things that come to mind being *up to rust patch #17 *bought 12a J-port plates *pulled engine apart and its a good one, carboned up as its been nanna'd *engine mocked up in van, clearances are not too bad *have an auto 7 box to chop up for bellhousing, to adapt to bongo transaxle. *on the hunt for an early rotary manifold and weber *all locks at the locksmith having new barrels and keys *half way through making new door cards. *BOUGHT FUCKING MAZDA BADGE FROM E-BAY! etc etc, its raging, never been so motivated.

Mr.Mk1 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 no coils in it no more, wont be much higher if at all when roadgoing. Sits good as. Bought a beetle convertable for 250 and ill take the trans axle out of it to mount to the bongo n rotary if its any stronger. Id like to keep the original bongo transaxle OG for future generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
