Evening All, another joyous day for us with another van added to the collection.
this time its a van that was built and appeared on the kiwi show circuit for awhile unfinished n then ended up being passed around before being rescued from the scrap yard n had has now made its way into my hands. it was known as Flaming pink in its day and was built by a guy by the name of Andy Philpott. it has an all steel body kit and one hell of a front kit, the side door has been gull-winged quite poorly over the years n needs to be redone. my white cf facelift van is going to donate its rb30 n trans plus dash etc to it as the its body is in pretty bad condition - has been pumped full of bog by a previous owners. so it will a quick swap over to it get up and running, hopefully will have it drivable by Xmas all going to plan

managed to get another van- well an ambo, with the missus approval, as its going to be for her to drive around in and hopefully in the near future turn into a mobile coffee van for her to work out of, but at the moment its set up as a camper and we are taking advantage of its set up
its a 1986 CF2, running a holden 3.3, trimatic, factory Disc brakes, turbo/hurricane mags
after a bit of pulling it apart - much to the missus disgust but i couldn't help myself, I found it still has a few of the bits from its days of service - found the old original siren box and beacon flasher unit left behind, so mite have to hook them up for a bit of a play with for a bit of fun n a laugh

hey guys am after a bit of urgent help, had a mate doing some work on my fuel tank, he was attempting to cut out a piece of the tank and weld in a new bit to take a VL commie fuel pump n sender - prior to doing any work he flushed the tank n then threw a piece of burning paper into it via the old fuel pump hole and it resulted in a large boom sending the tank flying and oval-led out the top of the old beddy tank rendering it now useless as a fuel tank, so im now on the scrounge to see if any NZ'er on here knows of a spare tank for preferably cheap that i can get my hands on,preferably in the south island
or am open to any suggestions on what would fit in its place fairly easily
cheers

So it looks like with my Cf facelift im back to square one on the Rb20e conversion.
on the original conversion the wiring was a dodgy ass hook up to get it running and drivable which worked for a short amount of time, which caused many issues with it so it was time to do it properly. I scored an R31 skyline that was a jap import which had been written off from a smash and stripped of everything to rewire the CF and get it running and driving properly but as time has gone on slowly myself and cfjeff have found more issues with using the wiring from the japper more issues than i thought it would be. turns out when stripping the car some crucial bits were missed and to get them would have to be ex japan but without part numbers it became more of a headache (and unfortunately parts out of the Aussie assembled R31s n vl's don't mate up to the jap assembled ones) and work on getting the van running came to a stand still for the last few months.
Finally after 18 months of struggling with the japanese mission, Today came a light at the end of the tunnel i picked up a complete VL commodore running a RB30.
So the next step is to tear my van right back to the start and do it all over again and repower it with the RB30 since the mounts for a RB engine are already there. While doing it i will try and post plenty of photo's and update it regularly for those wanting to do the same thing in their van.
First step will be tearing my van back and stripping the commie out so watch this space
10 steps back but at least this time i will get where im going finally

i recently purchased my first beddy off my good mate mike(WraithKinght) when he upgraded his wheels to an El Grande.
its a lil rough and needs some lovin. its running a Nissan Skyline RB20e six cylinder n auto, ive only got to drive it a couple of times so far as who ever did the conversion on it munted the trans and made a hell of a mess of the wiring loom so its back to square one with her.
since i've had it i have already replaced the trans with a 4spd with overdrive and completely stripped the wiring and purchased a donor R31 skyline thats guna donate its loom,gauges and interior
