Alright as mentioned in my project XB thread I have a mate building an EH, it used to run a destroked 400 chev and in the late 90s was a top 60 Nats car. He decided to try something different a few years ago and fitted a lexus V8 - last year began the power up with the inclusion of twin turbos.

The finish of the vehicle was top notch - not too many people would pull it apart for another build. Pics are the 'so far in the build process'


I have tried to keep the pics in the best possible order - enjoy...

If you give us the full path of the thread we may be able to see it.

When I strip it back to just the site address I can see a lot of the threads.

Post by: MaTTe on January 07, 2010, 01:37:19 AM
haha Dano, i've definately been putting in the hours, I've had 3 days off in the last 2 and a half months, every other day has been spent working on the Bedford with my Grandad, if it weren't for him it just wouldn't happen.

I think he started off with a better body.. and a much higher budget.. haha
but my van is coming along, its just a shame all this work is being done to make it look the same :(

I have plenty of things to do to the interior when i finally finish the exterior..

IOU all: an introduction thread with plenty of pictures (maybe even some of the horror photos).. i'll do it when it's all done..



Until then, enjoy this EH
