ive just brought a 73 windowed van with a 1600 twin port with a 1800 box. ive got it on full rego from the club rego it was on . the fuel guage needs some work but in the mean time what size is the tank and how many klms should i roughtly get out of a tank ..

also does any body know of a cheap place in sydney to get some paint blown onto it

I think they have a 50L tank and you should get about 350-400 km if in good tune and driven sedately. If you try and keep up with modern cars probably less.

went for the first cruise with the kombi club yesterday to the northern beaches had a iginition problem but its sorted thanks to a great club member . i made a unique set of speaker boxes today for the stereo but i think it needs a little more then that . my vintage speed exhaust goes on tomorrow and then the towbar will be put on and then wired . all i have to do then is to sort the bent rear bumper and bracket.

thanks ... it was a good base to start with , just needs a tune and service i think it is seeming to flood it self when cold at the moment but i would love a duel carb set

done away with the table idea never liked all i came up with so made this for now instead gives a bit more storage and another seat to sit and relax
