oh,,, i`m caught between 2 at the moment

one vote for bunyips idea (i might be a little biased with that one tho )

& the other vote for supoer sevens idea (OH & not just because there`s a split kombi in the pic either but that did help )

Well it would be interesting to have a Moke like this with a Metro Turbo 1310 and Waggott 212 Cam, straight cut gear box and drop gears with cross pin diff etc,etc usual candy







or how about a 1970 Morris Nomad 1300 with a V-Tec conversion, actually if your keen you can have it for $450 ( as in you take the Nomad and do the conversion )

welll,,, ive always had a soft spot for the Nomad,,, best ever sleeper in the whole wide world,,, & turbo V-tec 4x4 platform would be just perfect

Obviously keeping it sand beige

slightly wider wheels but kept std-ish looking, some "decent" rubber around them, a coil/over shock package to suit & lay the seats down for a comfy nites rest after winning Hay heros

it would be a pretty decent tow car for the hillclimb special too yeah?

ok

Well I really like the idea of super sevens chop top imagine that on a windowless van.
To mr mini is my ride it's anything u want it to be .
And maybe mr phat kat could set up a poll if he's able too.

Cheers Bunyip.

ah don't taint my love for roof chopped minis with airbags etc. It was never done for the low-rider look, purely to lower the drag coefficient. the windscreen was raked back a few extra degrees too. Purely for performance!

ah ok sorry mate.

I,m right with you Matt, I was actually thinking of a B16A with quad throttle bodies just like this one http://autospeed.com/cms/title_VTEC-Pow ... ticle.html and making it AWD would be interesting





And just for the chop top Hot Rod Van fans here's a photo just for you
