    What are those hinges off? I was gonna knock up a couple, but if they work alright, I'll steal your idea

    ok i haven't had much time to do a write up about the car and what i want to do.

    BODY WISE:
    so far i have shaved the areal hole, roof vent, fuel filler, door handles, door locks, mirrors, begun a roll pan for the rear of the car and begun the removal of the gutters.

    im still tossin up about doin one big side window or not, dont want it to look like a hurse. iv photo shopped a pic, be honust let me kno what ya think.






    ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN:

    im in the process of builting a head, with Petpro oversized valves, stage 4 Watson cam, double valve springs, adjustable cam gear and port job.

    im using standard crank with cossie rods and pistons.

    im still waiting on a manifold but im goin to use a quad carbie set up from an R1, i currently have them appart and cleanede waitin for reassemble and bigger jets.

    iv got a celca box ready wit bell housin just need to get a new clutch plate and pressure plate.

    im still tryin to source a hilux diff, provin to be more difficult then first expected.

    thats all i can think of atm, il post up some more pics when i have the time

    Cheers

    good work jake... cant wait to see it on the road..

    i think vans look best windowless as well, it really stops them from looking like a stationwagon,
