the other day i bought the correct rocker cover for a transit (long oil neck) as the corsair engine ive got has a short oil neck

[transitandy]

keep up the good work

[Vandalism]

will do shame the days are getting darker sooner

just out if interest, would a shorter prop be needed if an overdrive was to be fitted

yes

[Vandalism]

damn...i bet their not easy to find either

[Vandalism]

adam dropped some items off today

engine
box
prop
exhaust
4.63 axle

and some other bits and bobs - all fitted in the back of the van nicely
not sure when the convertion will happen but when it does i wil take lots of pics to explain how it was done as there dosent appear to be much info on a pinto flat front convertion

the parts in adams van before we took them out - the gearbox is the type 9 i think

[Franfixit]

i propose a little game called "who can bring back an MOT failure sheet with the most pages" - ill start

Hell.....I'll just load mine up on a trailer now and head for the roadworthy testers.....Maybe take the exhaust off for dramatic effect as well
Nice van, lovely colour blue.....Is the black and yellow 'crash barrier' look staying on the back?

[Vandalism]

no that was ages ago its got a white tailgait with a window on now theres some pics a few pages back

just bought the correct gear knob for the 5 speed gearbox as the one on there had reverse in the wring place - picked it up from a scrap yard
