Sioux,,, i can build you a R1 powered hill climb special if you like , would you like it turbo charged or not? ;-)
11cab,,, i do treat my kombi with quite a fair bit of aggression ,,, it does usually carry 5 or 6 people & 5 or 6 down hill mountain bikes & all the body armour & tools & spares & water & esky & & & & Then we thrash it up & down hills all day, nearly every weekend,,, so yeah it gets hammered,,, so approx 2500kgs being thrashed up dirt fire trails & toowoomba range & places like that maybe 20 times per day per weekend. I`m not going to say anything about anyone elses lexus powered duel cab kombi because i have no idea how they treat theirs,,, but i know what mine cops every week,,, including dragging off ferraris & V8 commodores nearly every day :-) sorry but yeah i`m a nut case ,,, i will make this thing able to handle twin turbos & i certainly am looking at making it 4x4 too
Lockrite diff & full Albins gear kit should be here this week,,, the turbo 4x4 porsche gearbox is being investigated as i type :-)
I think i`ll just take all the rubber matting out for now, i`ve no "NEED" to make it lightweight,,, as it happenes i`d rather it a bit heavy cause it holds the road quite nice at 200kms/h--> (for a kombi that is)
I was just surprised by it`s Fatness because it goes so hard,,, the donk must have a fair bit more than stock :-)
Andrew,,, it`s not just a Matt thing,,, I`ve seen your Baja bus :-)
Yeh but i haven't brocken a box .............................yet
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

yeah think he now has it sorted but cutting the car away isn't what i would call a solution. holes everywhere poor ol thing is lookin like swiss cheese!!
this thing weighs over 2 tonne unloaded. Now that's a big heavy truck so to speak!!

Yeah, it must be a "Matt" thing,,, Might pay to do a survey to see how big/heavy the right foot is on each Matt we meet :-)
Brenden,,, who was it that owned the white jacked up kombi around Creastmead way a few years ago ??? ( he was a relative to Your unkle John so he must be either you or one of your cousins) I used to drop into a mates place for some machining work in the same street as him & i did pop in one time & say hello.
bus or dual cab??

A candy coloured clown they called the sandman tip toes through my room every night just to sprinkle stardust on my pillow go to sleep everything will be allright

1956 double door panel
1968 single cab kombi
Brenden,,, Think it was a bus, but it may have been a duely,,, dam i have forgotten, i am gettin old & senile you know,,, too much pressure, how many seconds left till i have to answer ??? :-) i`ll go with a bus for now,,, dam multiple choice questions allways stuff me up :-) Crestmead isn`t a big suburb really,,, or is it??? :-)
Caffinepusher,,, it`s not high enough for me ,,, it needs bigger wheels tyres too... & i`m not going to make myself smaller,,, i like it when i`m big & hard :-)
I don`t mind the weight so much really, it does help it stay stable at high speeds,,, just means that 2 little BB turbos will need to be fitted to counter-act the fatness :-)
Sioux,,, did you get my e-mail?
cna you remember the street name?? I can recall 2 people I know who both had kombi's in the area at some time.
