Custom Hot Rod Bay for sale, unfinished project *****Final Price Drop*****.
the other thread was stuffing up. new thread with another price drop. There is absolutely nothing like this machine.
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
[size=6]$3500[/size]
this is the lowest the price will go

It isn't running at the moment, theres no radiator. It has been designed for a commodore radiator and all the plumbing for it is there. Its copper
piping by the way. There is water piping for the custom heater setup in the cabin as well. The engine is in running condition though, as it was
running perfectly in its previous car.

Ok, to get it finished it needs:
*Guages
*Interior Job
*Paint & Panel work
*Windscreen and rubbers (the rear window is just an ordinary bay kombi rear window)
*Headlights
*Blinkers (there are holes in the front to fit X3 Hyundai excel side indicators)
*Taillights (it takes early bay/late split lenses)
*Stereo
*Fluid change on engine and gearbox
*Engine tune up
*Something needs to be done about wheels and tires. It has stock commodore chasers on the front and 10 inch wide chasers on the rear but they arent
painted.
*Radiator and thermo fan need setting up
*Fuel tank and lines need setting up
*Needs shock absorbers
*Brakes need setting up
