for those of you who aint on face book
van is now up and running
took it on a first test flight and couldn't give it too much as no brakes and sitting on a plastic garden chair.
so last night bled brakes after replacing everything from the master cylinder,shoes,pads even brake pipes
she now stops well.shouldve been making seat bases today but couldn't resist another test flight (still plastic garden seating lol)
but a quick blast around the estate was very impressed with power and handling .gave it a quick blast and reached 80 quite easily with a hell of a lot to go
just gotta change power steering pump lexus one dosnt seem to like transit rack so gotta fabricate mount and a pulley set up in week
shouldn't be too much of a prob tho
exhausts should be finished tomorrow had to fit a Cpl of decibel reducers as it was rather loud
dash is half way there as ive had to scratch build one but lexus clocks look cool
4 weeks to transitmania and still a fair bit to do but will be there
if its got tits or wheels its always gonna end in trouble !!!
anyone can restore a van but it takes a real man to chop it up !!!
