KUK - 1974 (Scoo - Bay - Blue) Aussie Van's Restoration & Subaru 2.2 conversion

@SCOO-BAY-BLUE

i have cut the front of off the front subframe,

it is the engine support and with a bit of steel from the gearbox frame,
it will make a great engine support bar ,

 

I'm glad RJES are doing mine!

 

heres the part subframe and the gearbox support ...

 

Hi. I think I will do the same to mine.
What gearbox are you going to use.?
Radiator research is the next on my list.

 

Nearly there about 8 hrs more work left.

 

Inspirational @pkrboo ...

I see you have found the subframe pics..

 

Yep found em!!

 

Hi, im back following a few serious family Health problems (Parents) and rebuilding the front gable end of my house i am finaly back to gettting on with the camper.
My DIY loom conversion came to an abrupt end last year after talking to Richard at RJES as i had an odd loom with numerous addition sensors and a unique ECU (even he would not consider converting the loom)
i didnt want to waste months trying to sort it out and so i have also ditched the L.P.G idea for now. and have a spare ej22.
I brought another EJ22 65k looks like new with a simplier loom ?
Also now converting the rear brakes to discs.
Brought a small metal Lathe and 10T Hydraulic bench press to make life easier.
Ill post some pictures when i get more time.
As the engine is not in yet applied for the V112 / VOHI (Yes i know it will not be MOT exempt when i put the Subaru engine in)
I will get around to putting the 1800 cc complete engine up for sale later this year.
I was going to keep the van original but as i may of had mentioned before on getting her birth certificicate found the engine was not original and had already been replaced at some point so went for a radical change.
No faults with the engine just liked the Subaru conversion.

 

Nick Tune will be able to convert the loom. Probably both of them

 

Thanks for that i have got the rear disc conversion off nick. i will shave to see how much is left in the Restoration fund before getting itt done.

 

Following new MOT guidelines form filled out a short visit to post office and now my bay is MOT and TAX free untill the Subaru engine goes in later this year
