And there's plenty more where they came from
Hopefully this thread will get people motivated to do something a bit different with their project, even if it's not to everyones taste. Eye of the beholder and all that

Cheers

Built by JLH, do i really need to say why...

some of these cars are amazing!

ZD460, I see this is your 1st post, welcome . Is this your van?

That red pickup is wicked, turbo rotary-powered I believe?
What's in the beige van, CA18DET?

Hi
Yes its my van.
It has a Toyota 4age with a gt25 copy turbo on it, autronic ecu, toyota alloy 5 speed
and datsun sunny front disc brakes and diff.

ZD460, your van is amazing. Would be great if you could put up some more pics of it and maybe a full spec list . By the looks of it (correct me if I'm wrong) but are you from Australia? I was looking in to doing this conversion for my project (minus the turbo), how did you find the build?

Hi
Yes you are correct I live in Australia
Here are fom more pictures from the build-up:
Test fitting the engine and making the engine mounts

We had to cut out the box section at the rear of the engine to get clearance at the front

Custom engine mounts and I think jaguar 6 cylinder rubber

Datsun sunny brake boost and master cylinder. The master cylinder and the swing pedals were done before I brought the car

The engine after I had the block honed, new rings and bearing and had the head rebuilt

Engine sitting in the the engine bay working out the best position for the turbo


Welded in some 2mm plate to stop the steering rack moving around

We put dynamat throughout the car



Wheels are Performance superlite 6x7 front and back with 195/45/r16 front and 205/45/r16 on the back.
And I must admit that most of the fab work was done by a mate who is much better fabricator and welder than I am.

looks like an amazing project. Have you got a spec list for it? Sorry i'm just being nosey
Here are some more pictures is you guys need inspiration for your projects......[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
