Popular Post cletus Posted March 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2016 So I wanted another van, ive had 4 in the past and they are handy for camping, general manly chores, sleeping in when drunk, hauling go karts/bikes/car parts whatever. I had a look at a couple of older vans, a C20 datsun that i was too big for, my head was hard on the roof. I also had an early L300 organised to purchase off a panelbeater, but it turned out to be too rotten for him to fix economically. Also had a look at an 88 hiace but the motor was chooched. I decided i didnt need another project so went and had a look at this it was quite cheap, but it looked terrible due to it being a painters van, it was covered in paint and generally filthy, i bought it off a car yard and i think they CBF touching it, they staff said they used it for moving their own stuff and runs to the dump. Anyway under the ugliness its a really good runner lowered it this evening, s14 springs i got for free in the back with 2 coils cut off, torsion in the front so that was easy. Will get some different stiffer springs for the back as its a bit soft, these were only a test Will probably put some 14 or 15'' rims on it, and i might get the turbo off a factory turbo deez one to chuck on 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 That should be pretty Ace around Town. You probably want something like this if you need to go for a decent drive out of town though: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 usually I look to google to find inspiration for what a car can look like cant find hardly any of these. ive always liked the look of the japanese commercial spec white-with-black-plastic-bumpers vehicles ignore the odyssey its part of the pic and cant get rid of it, and it looks like a model, but i like the black steels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cletus Posted March 11, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2016 second after slam in importance, was clean it, as its filthy. every bit of trim i pulled off had cockroaches and spiders under it. so i stripped the whole interior, put a bug bomb in it, and waterblasted the whole inside and ''fixed'' the seat, with 2 t-shirts and some duct tape 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 made a ply floor and put some lino stuff i scabbed for free on it. have to wait for it to flatten out (it was rolled up under the house for a year) then i can glue it down. ill do that when i paint the inside to get rid of all the painters mess in the back. its got tiedowns as well for tying down my 24 piece family bucket of chicken or other things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
