This bad boy was offered up to me during a conversation about a month ago. I decided to go and have a squiz, thinking it will be a basket case but that I might be able to salvage a few bits off it for my other project. It turned out to be nearly rust free, missing engine and box and only needing rear doors and a bonnet. Everything else was there and boxed up. Apparently she has escort front struts, and was set up for a rotary in the engine bay, trans tunnel hadn't been done tho. She got loaded onto my dolly for its maiden voyage home.

So, I'd had this at home about a month sitting there in the shed with it's little friend and I happened to be at autopaint Wairarapa having a chat with the owner Reece, I filled him in on the van and the fact that I was trying to decide what engine to put in it and I had recently saved a vitara from the scrappy, he mentioned he had a suzie 413 he wanted some vitara bits for, and that he had a CA18DE and 5speed RWD box he was happy to part with, so a deal was struck and vitara was gone.

Fast forward to last weekend and I loaded the old van onto the dolly at 8am and headed off to work. Reece brought his Sunny down and we proceeded to remove the engine and box. Once out he cleared off and I pottered around for the rest of the day test fitting, measuring, and cutting until I could fab some mounts up and bolt her in. Takes a whole lotta time when your doing it by yourself. Went home for dindins for about an hour, grabbed brother-in-law on the way back to work and carried on. About 10:30 that night, we loaded van onto dolly and brought home to bed. Finished about 11:30, a pretty productive day.
