Luke's Minibus 1st V6 24v cosworth now fitting a 2JZGTE

[Luke]

Still making progress but slowly- i had a bad weekend at it too much rain and all the jobs i have to do need the van pulling out of the garage so i only really got the dash and heater fitted and a couple of panels in the back - im using hardboard to line it as its not going to be carrying anything that might damage the sides
anyway i still hope it will be done for the next northern meet
ive just ordered some waxoil for it im gonna give all the chassis rails a good soaking and ive got some underseal to finish off underneith

Um, you will be they are called KID'S.
Personally I would hate for you to scrimp on this part and then the first tantrum of 'are we there yet?' means a crushed panel. Use thin ply that is covered in whatever material colour scheme you finally decide on.

it will be fine the kids are well behaved mabe a fridge tipping over would bust through it but i cant see kids breaking it

i got the afternoon off work due to the flooding so i managed to get the chassis undersealed luckly the van is kept on high ground

and tomorrow all being well i'll be collecting my fuel tank

[Luke]

take a look at this and a photo too



i'd love to say i made it myself but sadly not - its made by Jim from Alloy Racing Fabrications (he also owns a Mint smiley )

He made me the tank from drawings i faxed him and he still has them so anyone wanting to fit an injection engine on a mk1/2 this is one way round running 2 pumps and an external swirl pot - the granada sender/pump just fits in the top and the transit filler connects without mods it has a swirl pot and 2 baffles and was very reasonalbly priced all i will need to do is make some straps to hold it

That's a nice tank mate, it's a shame it's going to be hidden away under the van.

[dangeeeeerousss]

yes very well made
you could always polish it up and have it as a body mod

[Guy88]

Nice

thats the chap who made my swirl pot

Not if he puts a see through panel in the floor

[djswampy]

Perspex floor panel. That would be great. Right under the feet and you can see the road beneath. At least it wouldn't rust

Excellent idea, but i'm not sure if it would pass an MOT tho. But I can just imagine the look on the MOT testers face during an MOT

[KiloKilo]

How many liters go into it? And what will be your range?

BTW really nice to see a photo

[Luke]

its a 70 litre - so the fuel computer will work

not sure on range but i doubt it will make 500 miles

[madmark]

very nice mate !

[transitgeoff]
