The Retired Meat Van

[squish_m8]

when I got the car it was completely stock.

I got the rims off a guy from toymods, they're actually quite common on old school holdens and similar others but hard to find in 4x114.3. I also think ajps were gonna get some in a group buy?

Also been lipping the guards today and found a great way to lift the car.

i did that before n it had a slow leak and kept coming down

I have those wheels in a 13x6, badged as "Cheviot Turbo". Performance owns a lot of Cheviots old tooling I think.

Nice work on the van, it looks great!

ok update,

now has:
-flipped leaves as per Mr. AJPS' example
-xt130LCA's -- not giving much camber though will be looking to get cambertops soon
-extra lock spacer
-fresh wheel alignment with about 1degree toe out each side and maxed out caster -- had to bash the guards while it was on the machine.










Next on to do list:
-camber tops
-locker
-rear swaybar

looks alot better man, just put the bottom leaf on the top? or the whole set fliped?

[squish_m8]

nice, did the van smell wierd when you first got it? I bought a daily R31 of one of my workmates (im a butcher and so is he), and he used to leave his coats on when he drove home, The R31 STANK like lamb fat so bad, and the smell never went away, even after I left beam cans in it on a hot day and they exploded.

the car smelt fine, all the meat went in the fridge that was in the back and the butcher made sure it was all nice and clean before he would let me take it.

In other news, now has:
-cusco strutbrace
-jdm passenger seat
-recaro fixedback copy on a super low bride rail

also now have to put on reconditioned sigma arms, jap adjustable tierod ends, and ae86 power steering arms. Many thanks to Touge Boy
