HX Van. What have I bought?

[Taily]

That's a sensational idea!

Thought: I know where there is a 3.3 blue six/M20 we can put in the WB....

That will keep the original engine spare if you ever want to put it back in the HX.

Regards,

Dave.

Stop giving me ideas fellas, you're gonna get me in trouble with the minister for finance haha. It's not the original engine though, it's a HQ item.

I think I know of that engine too, Taily. I'll talk to you soon.

Hi Ian

Thwe window in the van are these factory windows in the van or after market.. Any change since the first photos posted..

[V8VAN]

Na still looks like that atm. Gets run around the block once a week or so. When the LC goes I'll get into it.

I doubt the windows are factory mate. Look like a period mod to me. Undecided whether to keep them or not.

Have you decided what motor combo you are going, see you were thinking injected..

LC torana nice

[V8VAN]

Probably stick with the 253 and M20 when I get to that stage just to get it on the road. I can't see me having much spare cash laying around after the body work...

I do have an injected 5L here but it's auto. If I was to come across a manual conversion for it I'd definitely consider it.

The LC's not a bad car, just a 4 door SL. I just need the room and the extra cash will go to the HX.

So the LC is ready to be picked up (read: it's out of my shed) so the HX will be getting pulled down starting this weekend. Looking forward to getting into it. I'll start a thread in the relevant section sometime over the weekend.

Got a little bit excited moving the van around while getting the Torana out lol



Cheers
