Thanks E,
I would have thought you would have hated it,
I am really inspired to do it, the last few months, I sort of had a break (OK, lack of money type of break).
But now, I'll have those guards on by the end of the month. I hope.

I was hoping to pipe the cold air from there. lots of work.
please let me know

you'll hit the top of the engine..

i reckon it would be even better if it was standard bumpers and bonnet with crazy pumped guards, sitting really low with wide dished rims with a crazy offset.

two tone too... that would look awesome

oh and chrome fender mirrors!

Baaaahahahahah, I do!
But it is its very hideousness is what makes it so attractive! Hard to explain really!
A while back, i sold for a M8 an older Formula Vee race car. It was dressed in the most butt-ugly aluminium bodywork i think I have ever seen but the beauty of the car was its pure horridness to look at!!!!
I nearly bought that car!

But dont give up on it m8 thats for sure!! If you cop any heat or negative crap for doing your project then they can get fucked in advance from me!

Feel free to cut and paste that last paragraph!!!! LMAO

dude your totally giving away my ideas.............................



do the bonnet tho bro, there is shit loads more room between a prairie bonnet and motor than an exa or et, ive checked............

note the clearence in 7th pic on page one..........

your right, there iis heaps more clearance on the prairie than the et. I am prety sure it wont be a problem, but when the turbo motor goes in, with the stanard plenum, I'm not sure if it is higher than the standard, carby unit. It would be a nightmere to do all the work, then after I try to drop the turbo motor in, it hits, Will have to do some carefull measuring.

E, thats exactly the way I feel.
she is ugly, and in that, there is a strange beauty in her.
I always said, I want to make this ugly car into something that looks sweet.

the carby filter housing sits higher than an e15et plenium...
i had to modify my filter housing to fit a strut brace that bolts straight on a turbo n12

Thanks,
so Ill start on the bonnet when I finish the flairs, probably next week

So it’s been a few weeks and I have done nothing, damn weather (and me being lazy)
I have started working on it again.
Hopefully have the guards and spoilers fitted up in the next few weekends.

A bit of a trial fit.

Looks very promising! Going to be a heck of a van!

looking porn............

is that an et in the back with the front mount?

Yes it is, that’s the donor et for the conversion.

PMSL : D

Seems a bit like a pity fuck : p

I reckon the bonnet's worth doing; it looks the tits in your photochop.

...It's a bit like when Stephen Fry said, "I can say the following sentence and be utterly sure that nobody has ever said it before in the history of human communication. Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers."

any more progress shots?
