Question about vehicle engineers ?

[John Abbott]

Hello you crazy bunch of Beddy fans.   I was wanting to know how the whole vehicle engineering thing works. I am planning on doing a complete v6 commy conversion to my truck engine /tranny /diff dash/complete wiring loom ,ect ect.. Do you pay a fee up front or is it a progressive payment or do you only pay once the vehicle is complete and ready to go to licencing? I need to start putting together a budget for this build. Many thanks Johnno

Hi John,

No idea, but why not contact the local rod club. They will know the rules and regs, but most importantly, what you can get away with.

GDay Johnno heres my engineer's details :Sam Rossi 92919368   0411133588   Email samr@iprimus.com.au ,have a chat with him he will sort you out (he usually charges at the end of the job .The first thing you gotta do is chat with an engineer then send a proposal to the safety branch of the dept of transport for approval in principal then you do the mods get them assessed & approved by the engineer then the trans dept thennnnn you can put it over the pits  sounds easy aye??!!

Na, worth the effort, they drive nice with them in..

I Agree

Yes but at what cost I honestly think the hours spent doing the conversion the costs of parts & the modifications needed to fit plus engineering hassels it would be easier to go buy a new van Just my thoughts but I like beddies just the way they are thats why we bought them isnt it

Sorry Reid but hell no. I bought mine because it was just begging for improvement.

Although looking at it in its current state you'd have to wonder how bad it was originally to call it 'improved'.
