[bortaf]

Thats one cool looking van mate
consols a good idea with only 2 front seast, lots of waisted space

[Sundowner]

Sweet van there mate!
Looks like its had a stud conversion, or is it running falcon discs?
Nipper is a clasic and ist great to see more Aussies on here

Where in Mexico are you located?

[Mr.T]

yeah, its got falcon discs and holden calipers its a hadfield conversion. Its also a falcon diff.
nipper, well lets just say i get bored easy!
Your van is pretty cool, been watching it for ages, did you have any trouble rounding up the spoiler for it? Got any more pics? or any more progress since your last report?
im in Ballarat, victoria.

[Mr.T]

Hi gunslinger, very observant, that is a floor mounted dip switch.
I was pretty lucky with the spoiler, i come across it at a second hand junk shop.

[Kenneth]

That's a sweet looking rig mate.

My last Transit got stolen ( ), but I plan on getting a new one soon, and I'd love for it to look just like this one.

I'm surprised you haven't got a mattress in the back of it, to accomodate all of the attention that you must get from the sheilas

[MRspivvy]

My wife was always complaining, it's me or the Transit. I don't miss the whinging bitch.



hahaha!!!

The falc disc's is a good conversion and its cheaper to convert than it is to rebuild the stock transit brakes and you end up with a 287mm vented disc and you cant really fault the holden caliper, I have the same conversion on my Cortina from CRS but my van has Transit truck discs and 4 piston calipers with modified hubs to get the falcon pcd
Rear was easy with the install of a 9"

The spoiler was in the back when i got the van it had never been fitted, the guy told me he paid a motsa for it and got it from the UK

I have heaps of pics but nothing really intresting and work has slowed now that i can drive it

Im looking into putting it on air bags and turfing the leaf springs

Any reason? Leaf springs just not doing it for you
I must admit to being tempted to do this. You see it quite a lot on ambulances over here and they give a nice smooth ride. The self leveling is also handy but I would think the best thing is that by having it adjustable you can have reasonable handling with different loads.
Is it an expensive mod over there? Seems quite a popular fitting for motorhomes here as well, but usually as an addition to springs.
