Custom Hot Rod Bay for sale, unfinished project *****Now open to reasonable offers*****

urban_myth · 2006-02-25T11:08:52+00:00

I dont know why the last thread was locked, but we still havent sold it. We really are giving it away at this price. All the mechanicals/suspension alone would cost almost as much as this thing is going for if you bought them from a shop. 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. Please ask questions if you want to know anything else about it as I could have missed out something in my description. 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. Price $1800 or make an offer [ Edited on 23-8-2006 by urban_myth ] [ Edited on 26-9-2006 by urban_myth ]

If it did get finished i'd probably be funding it as my old man has lost all interest in it. He just wants it gone. I would love to see it finished, but at the rate its going at the moment that would be probably another 25 years lol

I am sure your dad would like to see it finished and all the hard work is done
Finish it
How about you give them the money to finish it!
Dont you think it would be finished if they could finish it?

there is no mention in this thread about lack of funds, just lack of motivation.... I was trying to support or motivate the guys as I know the feeling of finishing a project ....:alien
maybe you know something about their circumstances that I don't? and maybe you should keep this info to yourself and not inform the world....

Keeping it real !

lack of money is most of it actually, which brings lack of motivation

this would make a super cool drag car. not sure you'd ever get it licensed though with the front track about a foot and a half narrower than the rear... very interesting but!

the front and rear track is not much different, remember track goes from the centre of each tire... and the rear rims have had the offset modified.
