No big block here, A small Ford Cologne V6 engine on 2.3L and C3 transmision, Gasprise is expensive in Sweden so i stick with a small block. It´s has 120 hp so hopefully it can make a burnout

Have cleaned out the van and installed trailer socket and fixed main beam problems a cable had fallen off, And replace the brake fluid. I have one overexposed and one underexposed pictures of the interior but they will have to do

SDMickey better do it right once than breakdown on a cruise, I say that from experience I lost the brakes once, And the fan belt many times from bad alternator brackets, Had an old diesel that eaten batteries and get stranded to battery loss, So do it properly and you is going to stay happy

This is what I remind myself of every time I feel I'm one step forward and two steps back. Doing it right the first time will save you the headache down the road.

Teaser pictures of the door card and speaker. Going to paint the van before i upholster the interior. I don´t want green interior and red exterior so then paint first,
Door card and cup holder, must be American approved

I gotta say that IS a cool project.....just not sure what kind of smoking was going on when the proportions of that thing were penned. Did they get hired by GM for that Aztek project?
My van came from Sweden (I call her Helga) it was imported from Sweden to Ireland by the previous owner. As a matter of fact I have a Haynes manual for 1968 1995 Chevy vans in Swedish. If you want it send me a PM, as my Swedish is probably as good as your Irish : ) it's not of much use to me.
LeakBox The front is made of fiberglass and isn't original. And the sun visor isn't on yet. Its erouperian styling like mini and vw transporter, So it might be strange to non European
Shaggy I Don't have any G20 so no need for it, But thanks for asking

Good old Ford Transit van, nice work you are doing to save it. Still see a few getting around down here in Oz. I owned a 1970 Transit motorhome body version. Still got some pictures here.

RoKWiz Different? The hood/front is Custom and probable made in Sweden. Tilt? No it unfortunately don't Pics ?
SDMickey They are coming, have done some woodworking lately
LeakBox Thanks. That's what Custom is about have it your way, regardless what people cares
The glass front is a little different to a 1970 Ford transit metal front of mine. I notice yours is more square edged particularly along the top of the guards (fenders) This was my 1970 motorhome I had a few years back now, Engine wise it had a Aussie Ford 4.1 crossflow petrol powering it through a 4 speed manual box, dual rear wheels.
You are going at it! Nice work. I am doing some of my own "woodworking", although it is not ACTUAL work. I'm mocking up both the lower and upper cabinetry so I can take them to a REAL woodworker and get them made nicely, accurately, and complete, including drawer guides, faces, shelves, etc.
RoKWiz Looks like a normal V4 front, But how does a 4.1l engine fit? And that must have a lot of power compared to the biggest engine ford had in europe 3.0l V6. normal a V4 on 1.5 or 1.7
Leakbox Nice work on wood working. Like your cup holder amber/red lighting, Nice working on on the rest also engine etc
And thanks to all that commented, Keep on Trucking

They did have a sofa and i thought its was good price so i gets in my van and start her upp after the vinter she starts right upp. I starts drivng and is nearly there. I stops to ask for direction and i find that the engin owerheated. I try to open the coolant and all the water ends upp on the ground i did manages to not burn my self but always be carful whit coolant. the electric fan had a bad earth pints so chek your electric fan after stoaring. keep on trucking to the place to pick up the soffa. the enging is so hoot it smoking out off the valve cover hmm not good the compresion is weak. let the engine coldown then i start here upp filling upp coolant.. or plain watther. The engine makes an awful noise is it a bearing? i remove the valv covers and junkes the seal. The valves looks nice... hmm Iti´s ending up to be the dipstick that bent out of shape by the heat. the engine is going strong... now the only problem is it now losing oil... keep on truking stop by a relativ to fill up oil and ewerything went good after that. allt this mess for a sofa. a nice sofa by the way

I remove the seats and wash the fabrics in the washing machine. The foam base is ready for the wash put them in the bathtub and some washing powder. Then i try to get them to dry which is impossible. I tuck them in the drying cabinet and they is finaly dryed
Painted the frame and re install the foam base and the fabric
Stitch the little damage in the seats. And they are done

I have installed the marker lanterns. Then I bought new chairs and renovated them. I have then made lots of little fixes. installed windows, Painted the dash
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserve body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming
