phat kombi, the finished project
here are the photos of my bus finally finished, although it could use a wash...
as of today i have now driven 390km on the new engine and it is a beast to drive. its great.
i got a set of H&M extractors to free up the flow as the standard exhaust manifold on rover v8's are poo. I had a custom 2 1/4" twin system bent too
which is exiting just in front of the back wheels.
It looks and sounds the part now.
 exhaust wraped extractors
 Doesnt stand out too much at all, just how i wanted it
there is my "special" spare tyre...... filled with radiator inside. Im stoked how it came out
hope you like the photos
i have been lazy about the videos but they are coming soom i swear

I wouldn't blow it up first, I'd just have it built up tougher. You might find blowing it up shatters some expensive and hard to find bits.

Nup, one month when you get it up and running. That week doesn't count because it weren't running properly. If it wasn't running properly you
wouldn't have had to pull the heads off. Fairs fair!
(and I just know you're jealous of the turbo muscle :P ) |
