the other thread was stuffing up. new thread with another price drop. There is absolutely nothing like this machine.
Overview
Up for sale is a mid-late 70's bay window kombi that has had the wheelbase shortened 3 foot with a fabricated steel stepside tray on the back of it. Pretty much everything on it is customised. It has been checked over by engineers for the engineers certificate and there are no problems with getting an engineers certificate to street register it.
Suspension
It has a fully reconditioned front beam which is fully adjustable. There are dropped spindles on the front, as well as machined discs, new bearings and rebuilt callipers. The rear suspension has drop plates, adjustable spring plates and a rear disc brake conversion. All rotors have been converted to the holden commodore stud pattern
Engine
The engine is an american import 229ci Chev V6, with a 350 Holley carburettor. Since it was brought into the country it was run in a kombi for 12 months, then it was removed and fully reconditioned. 15000 kms was put on it in the kombi until it was removed from the vehicle to put into this, where it has been sitting for the past 2 years. It is similar in power and economy to a comodore V6. It has been adapted to a 2 litre kombi automatic using an adaptor plate and custom flexplate from John Sherman.
Interior
The dashboard is a modified Kombi unit with the standard instrument cluster moved into the middle, set at an angle towards the driver. There are holes for a tacho and water temp guage as well. There is a custom ventilation/demister system integrated as well.
Other Features
The radiator has been positioned just behined the cabin with a scoop on the front and a duct fabricated through the middle of the cabin. The tray of the ute can be opened up on gas struts exposing the radiator, petrol tank, gearbox and engine. It has a twin exhaust system with chrome dump pipes. The fuel filler is integrated into one of the rear guards.
This project has taken my father many many hours over the past couple of years, but he has lost the motivation to finish it.

If you are interested in buying please contact Geoff on 0416067932, (02) 9711 4383 or U2U me.
The doors are included as well if you were wondering.
