Leebo3 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yes. Please put rover in. Since you have been procrastinating about putting it in something for quite some time. Just have it ready for Kumeu next weekend please. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 rovers need loads of cooling which vans aint great for at all , i would save that for a reincarnation of rusky the lada wagon or similar project where the air can get to the radiator and jus throw another 18r in your touring wagon and profit on the gas savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah looked into the cooling yesterday. Rover Raidator wont fit. Pretty keen for the V8 so ill just make the cooling work. Later on down the track ill probably be upgrading to a 1UZ but seen as how i have a rover V8 on the shelf and the 18r is broke itll be going in. Ill just make sure i have a good cooling system before i start cruising Queen St on friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 i like how this is looking What are you doing with 18r? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 i like how this is looking Care to elaborate? What are you doing with 18r? Will sell if anyone wants it. Was running sweet as bar oil usage (believed the cause of that was a fucked as rocker cover gasket.) Dont no what damage the timing breakage caused though. Will come with coloum change four speed as well. Once rover is all in and running though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solidstripe Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Such a cool shaped van. Tis going to be a beast once the rover is in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Wheels look so swish. now you have to find 2 more! Isnt it good to put oil on the head bolts to make them easy to take out later on? Or I may be thinking of some other shiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah they sweet as, mismatched wheels ftw! Nah, theres yay more oil on the bolts and in the hole than you would get from dunking a bolt before installing, and asides its black, dirty oil not clean stuff.

leigh Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Cool van buddy, the rover should be a right laugh in there. Lovin the wheels too, you gotta put them on there - hinge the side door and take off the sliders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah been checking out alot of US van sites for ideas. Will likely chop door in two and weld lower piece in place so the top of it is level with the floor then gullwing hinge the top part so it opens like the rear door does. little bit of trial and error and research involved but it doesnt seem to tricky. Really want a spare door to use rather than wrecking the only one i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Weld door shut. Enter through the rear. /shgwag's motto in life. RV8 will be soso meke in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Will likely chop door in two and weld lower piece in place so the top of it is level with the floor then gullwing hinge the top part so it opens like the rear door does. yea that would be the go but i wouldnt gullwing it esp if you wanna use it while parked next to walls/other cars etc if you see what i mean. could still slide the top 2/3s over the wheel right?
