shaneo Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Cheers man, still a bit more work to tidy them up and match the drivers side before i prime. First/last time i shape flares Not 100% sure on the color, always changing my mind. Not even sure if i want it dark like Gun metal grey, or light like the orange thats on there now. Have to choose carefully because theres no windows to break it up. Have even contemplated oldschool stripes or signwriting, to help break up that area I have just seen the mock up for my Van and its really cool the sign writer is a member.member. Dont go white its dirty every second day. Quote
bmxnz11 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 I have just seen the mock up for my Van and its really cool the sign writer is a member.member. Dont go white its dirty every second day. We used to have a few white vans back in the day and thats exactly the reason im not going white, everything shows up. Was thinking sign writing like this Look forward to seeing yours Quote
Beaver Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Does anyone know if 1300 sumps fit straight onto the 1600? I seem to recal somthign about crank and/or oil pickup hitting the sump when using a 1300 sump on a 1600. Quote
Raizer Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 The 1600 crank hits the bottom and possibly the sides in some spots. Take your time with a big hammer and the 1300 sump can be made to fit, pick up is sweet as. Quote
bmxnz11 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 If i'm going to panel beat one i might was well do the 1600. Its had its fair share of off roading. Was hoping to be lazy and pop on the 1300 i have. Cheers for that guys Quote
xygtho Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Ideally 1600 sump for the win. as Raizer says, 1300 can be made to fit, but if you have 1600, then roll with it Quote
shaneo Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 You need a 1600 sump 1300 sumps dont fit Quote
Raizer Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Shit, then I must have imagined spending 30 minutes hammering my 1300 sump which I ran on my 1600 for several years. Several mates of mine must also have not used 1300 sumps on there 1600s either. Lol Quote
cletus Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 when i was a youngin i learned the hard way by pulling the engine out 3 times, that you can fit the 1300 sump by dinging it in the right places, but the knocking noise from the 1300 pickup hitting one of the conrods will make you think the sump is at fault, haha Quote
pusherman Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Ive got a 1300 sump on mine just needed beating up before it worked Quote
kyteler Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Holy shit dude, that is looking legit! Good work! Quote
Horse25 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 have a NOS drivers door if you are keen or anyone else? has one small dent. Quote
63Ragtop Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 fucking hell man, that's great work on the rear doors, the bugs doors need work like that, not looking forward to it. keep going, you must be nearly there? Quote
bmxnz11 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Holy shit dude, that is looking legit! Good work! Cheers man, took me long enough ha have a NOS drivers door if you are keen or anyone else? has one small dent. Welded or bolt on hinges? fucking hell man, that's great work on the rear doors, the bugs doors need work like that, not looking forward to it. keep going, you must be nearly there? Cheers man. Oddly enough those rust repairs i enjoyed doing, maybe just because of the reward seeing it all line up together so well. Its well worth doing knowing you wont have that problem again. Used a mates folder which gave a much better finish. One last big repair to do below the rear doors, can see how wobbly it is in some of the photos. Its been hit and had things dropped onto it and then filled with lead. After that its a whole lot of shaping and sanding getting it ready for paint. Quote
Beaver Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Good stuff man! I've got that bottom end from Auckland sitting in the back of the van. Im still in hamilton but should be home by the weekend hopefully (sick as a fucking dog) Quote

bmxnz11 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Just picked up a sport gearbox in the weekend among other parts, was a nice surprise. Only going by the solid alloy tail housing though, type E, on the burton site. Numbers on the box aren't bringing up anything. Full sport running gear now. Quote
ESKIN8R Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Sport box is a type 2 with integral bellhousing and full cast alloy rear tailshaft. Nice van mate. Quote
bmxnz11 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Saweet, sounds like a sport then. Thanks. Done in similar taste to yours. Quote
