hey guys, i don't know if you havent seen my car in the non VW engine conversions part of the site, but this is proudly my V8 now

took me a while to plan how it was all to go and fit, not to mention finding all the parts,
i was told by so many that it wont work and that i will screw up the car... HA look at it now!!! bet that shut em up

not bad for a 19yo non-mechanic eh haha

by the way, this is how the car looked when i first bought it when i was in year 12

DUDE!!!!... SWEEEEEEEET!!!!! :duh:

put her in the Bay Gallery downstairs too mate!.. she's the SEX!!!!

Nice work...even looked pretty clean before the conversion and paintjob! :beer:

By the way.. what V8's it got in it?.. Range Rover?... 253?

215ci alloy rover V8, the 10.5:1 compression model

it won't be legal like that, you'll have to make/buy a cage for it methinks. would be safer if you did anyway.
but its awesome! keep up the good work. when is it getting slammed?

slammed and it will look awsome

I think it would be possible to mod a standar kombi lid and put it on... i reckon it would look better than having the ass hanging out.

I'm sure somebody on here had Range Rover motor in a bay and manage to fit it under the lid.

nice work man, how does it go?

mate, it goes insane, in 1st gear if you spike the throttle the 2 front wheels come off the ground... at the same time haha, a non turbo pulsar tried to overtake me in a merging lane last nite... n i bet he was thinking WHAT THE F*******K??? hahaha

ill get some better footage soon, this was just off my mates fone

sorry guys cant get the images to come up in the link, ill get em on a real digital camera soon

It worked when i first tried it...looks good!!!

Hey Kevo, start looking for a new gearbox now.....that way WHEN it breaks, you'll have another one to slot in....LOL
Looks good :thumb

Did you paint it yourself or did you have it professionally done. What sort of $$ did it cost??

Looks great, I love the colour
:P:P:P

That's awesome mate, love your work! :tu :beer

Mark

mate that rocks!

na i didnt paint it jeremy, i got it professionally done, i have 2 mates in the business and they panneled the whole thing and sprayed it, all up including the 2pac and other materials it cost me $4k, yer i love the colour too, "devil Yellow" also known as monaro yellow,

as for my gearbox 11CAB, haha na i don't do that often, i drive her relatively nice, and have never tried to sit brake the car without the road bein wet or havin dishwashin liquid on it haha,

as for the boot lid, i am just over halfway moulding a new fibreglass lit with bowl shaped bits in it to fit the alternator, waterpump pully and belt, sanding it back to a nice smooth even shape probably as you read this...

cheers for the comments guys, apriciate it :thumb
