ma new panel van

yea i bought another mk2 panel van, its a lot like ma other one, except in alot better condition. i dont have any photos yet, im waitin for some good weather and time so ill get on to that asap, so il just say a few words bout it till then.

1980 yellow panel van.
tinted bubble windows.
std 2ltre pinto with Genie extractors, std exhaust.
new Xtreme heavy duty clutch
new diff
rear sway bar(Kmak(spelling)) and i believe a heavy duty one on the front (im not too sure, its just at least double the diameter of the one on ma old panel van[xo]).
magna elite bucket seats.
hotwire mags on 185's.

mmm thats all i can think of atm, ill try n get some pics asap.

and for those ppl out there thinkin it, i will be watchin out for trees and poles on wet days, i dont want the same thin happenin again, too much pain[:-(]

Hey congrats man. Sounds good, enjoy. And yes trees and poles do jump out. Scientists in British Columbia have proven it. Nasty stuff.

Looking forward to pics.

it needs a bit o work on the inside, some fool has tried stickin fluff or sumit horrible like that, n they used silicone, its every where. n i just swapped my old sun visor over.
i was sooo bloody happy and surprised how much faster the 2ltrs are over the 1600 and how much the sway bars stop body roll.

I'm sold!

I have to get at least an upgrade for the front bar but my Mk1 van has a Mk2 axel with the sway bar mount yet the body looks like it never had a sway bar.... any chance you could take another pic of the rear sway bar where it mounts to the body?

yea il get onto that some time today, when i got some spare time. im already havin troubles wit the wirin, ma indicators and left parkers and brake lights arent workin and ive checked the fuses, they are fine.

For your parker, check that it hasn't slide out of the light housing an earthed itself (but that should blow the fuse) these are a few fixes Ive had so far.

Brake lights check globes but before you do check the little switch at the brake pedal to see if its functioning and has 2wires connected to it
