the boot floor in the vans well there is that large cavity behind the seats which is unused well i was woundering if anyone has ever cut that part of the floor out cause i was thinking of doing this and then making like 2 large storage spots there just make up some mdf boxes with a lid so u can open them then the spacei snt wasted what do u people think of this? if u understand what i am trying to say lol

But where are you going to put the battery and the spare wheel :wink: ?

I understand. But the cavity behind the passenger seat is for the spare wheel. I think the best spot for tool bins in along each side.

Ow is that a clubbyVan turning into a Roundy :wink:
Hmm..just thinking of what you are saying and cutting out the top section or floor behind the driver or passenger storrage area. I'm not likeing that :twisted: Do we think this may weaken the frame :idea: I know the traveler has this but does it have additional strengthing instead :?:
Just a question :shock:

I also have a van and you can check it out on my Photobucket also :wink:

Not much has happened of late :? but intened to some more soon :wink:

Hmmm..Where are..can you fill in your profile..Interesting..read and now that you say it has the best body..I?We want pic's
you say you have a 998 out to a 1100.I'm guessing thats the bore and that means it does not have a 1100 crank :idea:

61KW..what that in HP and is this at the flywheel or the wheels ....Recently..well last year the sydney guys we had a dyno day and the top Hp was 46.8HP

I know of Paul Gulson and his work on Mini's but 61 KW out of a 998 :shock:

yer i got 61 at the wheels i have the dyno sheets and stuff in hp i not sure but that run was done in 4th gear i c at those mini dyno days they tend to do the test in 3rd i think.
yer what paul has put in the motor i realy aint to sure on but what ever he did i love it he always wanted to do the mini and then we decided and we told him and he was stoked yer paul was the one who told us it has the best body he has ever seen.
i will get some pics soon i think i have some older ones i have a look

oh i am on the gold coast
