LET ANOTHER PROJECT

MY VAN IS TAKING TOO LONG SO AM MAKING A GO-KART TRAILER
IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP AT THE MOMENT, BUT EVERYTHING HAS POTENTIAL. I BOUGHT AN OLD CARAVAN FOR $500.00 AND AM MAKING IT INTO A GO-KART TRAILER. I CUT THE SIDE OFF AND HINDGED IT SO IT OPENS ON STRUTS AND YOU CAN USE IT LIKE A VERANDA. I ALSO CHANGED IT FROM 10" TYRES TO 18" RIMS. THIS INVOLVED MODIFYING THE CHASSIS QUITE ALOT. I HAVE STRIPPED THE INSIDE AND HAVE USED POLISHED ALUMINIUM CHECKER PLATE ON THE FLOOR WHICH NOT ONLY LOOKS BETTER, BUT IS HEAPS LIGHTER.

DO YOU RECKON 18" RIMS LOOK BETTER THAN 10" TYRES. THIS WASN'T AS SIMPLE AS FIRST PLANNED. I BASICALLY HAD TO MAKE A NEW CHASSIS TO FIT THE RIMS

CART FITS GREAT. GUNNA MAKE ANOTHER RAMP FOR A SECOND CART. AM GUNNA TRY AND PAINT THE INSIDE THIS WEEKEND.

MANAGED TO FIND TIME TO PAINT - GIRLFRIEND WAS OUT OF TOWN
WHAT DO YOU REACKON OF THE BLUE. WOODGRAIN MIGHT BE COOL IN SOME LUXURY CARS, BUT NOT IN THIS CARAVAN.

DECIDED TO ALSO FILL IN A HUGE HOLE WHICH WAS A BREATHER FOR EITHER THE GAS OR THE FRIDGE. USED GIPROCK HOPE IT STANDS UP TO THE VIBRATION

GOT IT PAINTED!!!!!!!!!!1
A WEEK AFTER CHRISTMAS
TOOK AGES TO PREPARE, BUT WORTH IT

NEW PROJECT - MITSUBISHI VAN

THIS IS WHAT I HOPE IT MIGHT SORT OF LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S FINISHED. THESE RIMS ARE THE ONES I HAVE ACTUALLY ORDERED IN 18" FOR IT.

I HAVE JUST STARTED WORKING ON MY MITSUBISHI EXPRESS VAN
I HAVE SOME HUGE PLANS FOR IT
MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION WAS TO GET IT GOING PRETTY DAM GOOD
I HAVE HAD IT FOR YEARS AND IT IS A BIT OF A LEGEND TO ME AND MY MATES. ALSO IT IS STILL REGISTERED
IT HAS HAD AN EXTREMELY HARD LIFE THOUGH AND HAS ALOT OF ALCOHOL RELATED BATTLE SCARS.

THERE IS SO MUCH WORK TO DO AS THE VAN ISN'T EXACTLY IN PRISTENE CONDITION.

I WONDERED WHERE THAT BRICK GOT TO

IT TOOK ME A GOOD 2 X FULL DAYS TO CLEAN UNDER THE DAM THING AND SPRAY THE UNDERSIDE WITH SOUND DEADENER(MESSY CRAP)

I PAINTED THE WHEEL ARCHES - THEY LOOK A BIT BEETER THAN WHEN I STARTED DON'T YOU THINK.

PLANS INCLUDE SPRAYING IT THE SAME COLOUR AS MY SUBARU AND EVEN PUTING A SUBARU FRONT END ON IT WHICH I HAPPEN TO HAVE A SPARE AFTER SMASHING MY SUBARU.

THE MOTOR IS BEENING UPGRADED FORM THE 60HP 2L TO APPROX 120HP 2.6L

THE MOTOR IS HEAVILY MODIFIED AND WAS REMOVED FROM A SPEEDWAY CAR AFTER DOING 1 X RACE MEETING.

MODS INCLUDE - MODIFIED OIL GALLERIES, HIGH VOLUME OIL PUMP / OVERSIZE FLAT TOP HIGH COMP PISTONS / MAGNA HEAD / DECKED & FLOWED, STIFF VALVE SPRINGS / BALENCED THROUGHOUT / LIGHTENED FLYWHEEL / MODIFIED INTAKE MANAFOLD AND CARBERATOR / STAGE 3 CAM. I ALSO HAVE A MANIFOLD WITH A 350HOLLY READY TO BOLT ON LATER DOWN THE TRACK. WILL ALSO CHUCK ON EXTRACTORS AND EXAUST.

PAINTING MOTOR

PRIMER

PAINT - LEFT OVER ESKY PAINT - HOPE IT HANDLES THE HEAT

I AM WORKING ON THE DIFF - CHANGING IT TO DISK BRAKES. I CUT THE ENDS OFF A SCORPIAN DIFF WHICH I GOT FOR FREE OFF A MATE AND MACHINED THEM TO SLIDE OVER THE EXISTING DIFF HOUSING AND PRESSED IT TOGETHER. THEN DRILLED THEM TO BOLT TOGETHER - IT'S LOOKS VERY PROFESSONAL SO SHOULD KEEP MISTER PLOD HAPPY. ALSO REPLACED THE SEALS AND BEARINGS AND PADS WHILE I WAS AT IT.

DIFFENENTLY BETTER THAN DRUMS - ALOT OF WORK THOUGH

PICKED UP MY MAGS TODAY - MAY 2006 YEPPIE

GOT TO HAVE THE FOX BRAKES

NOT REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THE PANEL BEATING

LOVE TO SEE MY VAN ON THE DRAG STRIP ONE DAY

I WACKED ANOTHER PROJECT TOGETHER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR THE LOCAL CAR SHOW. THEY HAVE A MOTORISED ESKY COMPETION. WHAT DO YOU REAKON OF MY EFFORT. IT HAS A 30 HORSEPOWER RACE ENGINE OUT OF MY GO-KART. I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR SPEEDING AT THE CAR SHOW THOUGH. WON 3RD PRIZE AT THE SHOW - WOULD OF RATHERED 1ST, BUT YOU GET THAT.

MY NEW PROJECT

I WAS A BIT SAD THAT IT DIDN'T WIN THE COMP, I'LL JUST HAVE TO DO BETTER NEXT YEAR...

MY ESKY AT NIGHT. I REAKON THAT IS THE ONLY ESKY IN AUSTRALIA WITH NEONS! I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING NOS FOR NEXT YEARS COMP

1 YEAR NOW. I HAVE CHANGED QUITE ALOT , AND ALMOST EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY MYSELF. I HAVE DONE A HEAP OF ELECTRONIC MODS MYSELF, AS THATS THE BUSINESS I'M IN. I HAVE A KENWOOD 700WATT 4 CHANNEL AMP, BRIDGED TO A HIDDEN 700WATT SUB IN THE SPARE WHEEL AREA. 2 X MAGNAT 300WATT 2 WAYS IN THE BACK DOORS. I HAVE A MOTORIZED 7" SCREEN IN THE DASH HOOKED TO A MINI PLAYSTATION 2 IN THE GLOVEBOX AND A LAPTOP WITH WIRELESS WITH OVER 15,000 MP3s AND VIDEO CLIPS HIDDEN UNDER THE SEAT. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING PRETTY CHEAPLY AND BOUGHT MOST PARTS SECONDHAND OR CHEAP OF EBAY. I PAINTED MY BRAKES RED AND PUT A LOGO ON MYSELF. SEE WHAT YOU THINK. I TRYED TO GET VARIOUS PANEL BEATERS TO FIT A SCOOP TO THE STANDARD BONNET, BUT NO ONE WANTED TO TOUCH IT. SO I ATTEMPTED IT MYSELF, AND THE RESULTS WERE PRETTY DAM GOOD. IT WASN'T MUCH FUN CUTTING A HOLE IN SUCH A NEW CAR. I ALSO RACE GO-KARTS, AND HAVE MADE BRACKETS UP FOR THE ROOF. EVERYONE SAID I'M MAD PUTTING MY CART ON THE ROOF. IT WORKS THOUGH AND LOOKS PRETTY COOL WHEN YOU ROCK UP TO THE TRACK. I HAD SOME FUN IN THE MUD ONE DAY - CHECK OUT THE PICTURES. I RECENTLY FITTED NEONS TO IT AND HAVE WIRED THEM TO THE INTERIOR LIGHT SO THEY COME ONE WHEN I UNLOCK THE CAR, WHICH LOOKS PRETTY COOL. I'LL GET SOME PICS SOON.

WHEN I BOUGHT IT. LIKE THE HUB CAPS? AND NOW...

SOME PEOPLE SAID THEY REAKON MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DIRTY. I PROVED THEM WRONG LAST WEEKEND.

WHICH EXHAUST WOULD YOU PREFER?
IT WASN'T EASY GETTING HOLD OF A GENIUNE WRX BADGE

LOOKS GOOD ON THE BEACH. YA DON'T SEE TO MANY OTHER CARS OUT HERE.

LIKE MY HAND PAINTED BRAKE CALIPERS. THEY'RE STOCK STANDARD

SUNDAYS CAR SHOW

LIKE HOW I HID THE SUB

MY DVD SCREEN - THIS WAS THE CHEAPEST MOTORIZED SCREEN I COULD GET. GREAT PICTURE. A BASTARD TO FIT THOUGH.

MY MINI PS/2 IN GLOVE BOX. ADD A LAPTOP AND THERE ARE WAY TO MANY WIRES TO HIDE

CHEAPO $20.00 GEAR NOB AND PEDALS - LOOKS GOOD THOUGH

YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS I USE MY CAR FOR WORK. WHO SAID I NEED A UTE.

ME AND A MATE AT THE PANEL BEATERS, TRYING TO WORK OUT HOW TO FIT THE SCOOP. IN THE END I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF. HE WOULDN'T LET ME SWAP ENGINES. NOT FAIR.

LIKE THE $10.00 FAKE STI INTERCOOLER

THE CAR SO FAR. GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY.
