I think Mark wants a van, I can tell..

MK2 van with tarmac arches would look pretty sweet... Might even be room for a VR6/R32 motor....

Do a RetroPower Cars conversion and graft the vr6 floorpan to the van body !

Nothing much happening on the car front right now, I'm waiting for parts again with the last large item I need to get from overseas on the way. Dad will be home with my gearbox bits the week after next so that will be the next job.

I was in the panel shop today to see how the car was going and they're on the home stretch with the roof and the right rear quarter, I was so chuffed by how its shaping up I forgot to take photos! 

In other news I managed to pick up a pretty good deal on a set of wheels and tyres. Brand new revolutions and Toyo Proxes R888Rs with centre caps. I would have loved 205/60R13s for the tyres instead of 185/60/R13s but at the price I paid for the set I couldn't say no.


 

yeah babay!

Love those wheels...
Will be interesting to here your thoughts on the Toyo's when the time comes.
I had a choice between them and the Nankang NS2R's, I went with the Nankangs after our local agent offered them to me at a price I couldn't refuse, but the Toyo's are still an option in the future.

I like Revolution wheels , 185s in 7in is what you need especially the sticky semi slicks . When they warm up they'll be flicking marbles up into the wheel well and may cause pimples on the top of the guard. A strip of neoprene glued there will stop panel damage . Yanks call them Nankang ditch finders lol, maybe they can't drive...

You mean on the inner guard yeah? Like A modern inner guard liner but backyard style  

The inside of the outer guard up the top along the flat, where you rest your elbows on but underneath. Yeah yard style 😄👍
My mates RS didn't cop any pimples from a weekends track day at Mallala , tho he wasn't pushing it to hard . It might be more of a mk1 thing..

After 3241 years I finally have all the bits to build the type 9 back up! Looking forward to getting stuck in soon.
