cute wee gem Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Can't say I'm a big fan of putting rotors into everything. But this van, theres nothing better that would suit it! Mean van though, so ugly but so cool at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speedstar Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 A little 12a would redeem it. how much does that thing weigh? must be light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 fucken awesome man, like lorolla said, the only engine that would suit this van now is a rotor. as for paint scheme, i reckon the white + something suits it the most... maybe even keep the white/red, either that or white/black would keep that retro look. white black IMO For the Mega win watever you do man, i will be very jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucan Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Agreed ^ The only paint thats doing it for me so far are the white on top of other colour jobs. Foot controlled vent for what exactly? Sounds fucking technical, I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I still reckon you've gotta do that oldschool ambulance look. Semi-rat but in good cond, like a vintage ambo - will be awesome!! And different too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sexychevette Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Nah dont make it 'nice', just make it extra fucking low and loud. Fuck the paint job, spend your cash on the motor and interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
