my estate how i got it with a 2 liter and 5 speed i painted it and fitted a 2.8 injection then i got the 2.9v6 and super charger for it had a run in with police about the supercharger so removed that then got bored with the V6 and rebuilt and fitted the v8 from the van decided that carb'ed V8's use to much fuel so it currently has the edelbrock proflow injection from the van fitted and will be back off the road for some more changes in just over a weeks time

I like it ;D don't know really they just seemed to suit the 76 both 70's cars and the turbo kadett was already the baby blue colour originally and it was just different from the usual gulf colours the green one just followed the theme really ;D

Some great stuff in here, nice to see. ..and i´m sure Mark (Nightmares) has forgotten one two of his projects ;D Not mine anymore but still in my garage waiting completion so........ I sold my Splitty to buy this... a 1963 Taunus Transit BeforeDuringGot rid of the rust ...and treated it to a new paintjob These vans normally don´t have an interior.... Then had a play around and swapped the original engine for one with a bit more "get up and go" (2,9 24V Cosworth) ;D AfterAnd then drove it to Santa Pod for it´s testdrive ;D although there are one or two more "after" pics i´ll leave them for John to post up

Not sure I've ever really got to an "after" stage! 12 years and 100k miles in six photos! A representative bit of suspension. Engine change one of three (so far...) A representative bit of welding Decisions... Not yet the end.
