Hehe...I'll have better picks to post under my ride
Yipee....we're gunna have some fun in this one :bounce:bounce
Nice score,
looks like you will have to travel to a few far away shows now as well as camping.... now you have no excuse (having to work doesn't count:P)
'Ah, whatever................'
Bought an EJ22 for the kombi....pick it up this weekend.
If anyone is chasing a good 1800 type4 donk let me know. You can hear it running before we rip it out.
Forgot about Action Day...then again sounds like I didn't miss out on much
...I was off the puter for 3 whole weeks .... I think I must be still in the honeymoon period lol
Jen Nice looking Van you will get up to some mischief in that LOL
Yes you need to get into the OLD routine again :beer
Hmmmm Stanley, I see that you see the light. 😂
Awww Dave, you said what I was thinking about Jen's van. 😂
I've just found your thread on your conversion pete and am reading....nice work.
How does the cooling keep up...remembering i'm in Qld and what is the radiator from.
OK boyz 😊 :P
Mmmmmm yes I can see some good times ahead :party
Went to the government book shop during lunch and got a couple of cool books on out of the way camping places in Victoria...plus Lonely Planets Outback Australia.....goodness I hope we get the Trakka out of the drive 😁
Not sure if I'll havbe time to wash it before we head off somewhere on the weekend to test it out... the inside is as clean as, only some mold around the windows n things cos it's been sitting for 2 1/2 years unused. Michael has serviced it and putting light truck tyres on it for me so I can hit dirt WAHOOOOOOO
Yes Penguin I will have to get to some far away events now ... no excuse now .... AND have been made permanent with the bank FINALLY .... I ended up saying that I wasn't helping out anymore in other areas until I was .... damn when ever review time came up I was in an area where they hadn't had me for a month to assess my ability ... crazy system the way they do things ...hmmm could I have worded that better 🙄😀
BUT up side is now I get paid leave and all the rest...AND bonus shares in 12mths time ...that's if we haven't decided to go walkabout in the van before then 😏
Don't worry Peter..I just finished reading your builup. Have you added the scoop to the radiator yet.
Thanks for the pic of the rear mount. Are they solid mounts or do the use existing suby rubber mounts?
With the COR sump you have to use 'round' Suby mounts, not 'square' ones. Don't worry, a Subaru specialist wrecker will know what you are after. My engine had square ones and I had to get a pair of second hand round ones at $50 to fit with the conversion gear.
I have some pretty cool (pun intended) plans with the scoop. I have sheetmetal fabrication facilities at work, so will come up with a good plan. It is all about positive air pressure. The radiator is fine, it is COR modified VL Commodore
by modification do you mean new top tank to run inlet and outlet up through the top. Also like your header tank. Actually the whole setup looks good especially the mounting of the ecu.
Hey Jenz
Bloody good to hear from ya! I was in the campervan & Motorhome club for a while and they put out a free camp guide for highway one. It used to be about $20. It listed all the free camps, dump points and various other stuff. I have free camped on with the bike for 25 years all round australia and had no trouble in all that time. I also use them when I take the kids away in the Kombi. You meet a lot of euro travelers in these places and their stories are wonderful. I have had a few invites to stay at their places if I make it to their country as well.

What happened to you guys at Action day?

Nah, not sure who superbug 71 (or whatevere his tag is) is, but not even going there for an answer. Not worth it.
'Ah, whatever................'
like I said.....ask the question be prepared for the replies.
Okay,
not going to Warwick now 🙁 too much work now that my FSGT has gone to the middle east. Will be in Katherine/darwin that weekend instead.
On a brighter note, have decided to get my driveway finished 🙂, will get a contractor in to finish it for me and spray seal the bast**d!
'Ah, whatever................'
Thor and I have made the executive desicion on saturday we won't be going due to a string of weird events 😉 as dissapointed as Javan may be... we AINT goin, 🥷 I will be on my child free holidays, must make the most of my time and maximise my social 'bender' opportunity. But we ARE going to the drive in (assuming I can get this kombi sorted), come to the drive in pengy if your not away/tired/other commitments/covered in driveway goop. 👍
Whens the drive in night? I suppose you will want me to go trawl through the coming events now....... sheesh! couldn't you make it easier for me! I mean what do you think I do all day, just sit here at my desk reading and writing stuff on a computer????
(these whinges borought to you by the letters T,I and C) Shoudl I ask what the string of weird events are?
'Ah, whatever................'
officers....🙅
OK
Let me in on the gag

No gag, just me being whingy and whiney.... got a lot on for the next few months (till both my troops return home from the mid east and I get a new junior officer) so I am practicing being a lazy little shite......
on the other note, doesn't look like i canmake the drive in either as Osama goes to Conti engines on Saturday morning to have his engine looked at while I am away in the NT. So no transport for me.
'Ah, whatever................'
I don't think your hearts really in volksies Pengy...time to give them to me...especially the oval...would look good chopped and turned into a rod....hey Rob
wanna lift in the polf penguin? you have to wear a beanie coz its a holden tho! (raced down yesterday to sort daisy out, but alas, as always I hit a snag, don't have time to finish the job till next week *sigh*, should just join some dodgey holden club instead, seem to be spending more time in the barina than the dubs 🤪 )
btw nice ride jen 👍
Not sure, may be able to give y'all lift if I can borrow my dads cruiser.
As for giving you my dubs Stan, :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P (would do a finger but there is no emiticon for that)
'Ah, whatever................'
Hi all!!
I ran into Mandie and Steve at the clubs AGM last night...great to see them again 🙂
AND I saw the Splittie for the first time..embarrassed to say....it looks SO NICE!!! Pity it was dark outside and raining but it did look wonderful...can't wait to see it in the daylight
AND I found out who YOU are Stanley!!!! lol
I thought you were a newbie who invited themselves in...I'd missed the transformation in my absence
Hmmmm I resigned as club social secretary but some how volunteer to do Merchandising seeing no one was putting their hand up...Eddie arrived after work and in our half time break to be told the news by others....he said it's lucky he loves me ...I will have to be extra nice for a while 👍
