The BeerBeddy says hi.
« on: March 11, 2013, 10:18:51 AM »
Hi all, new to the site and thought it worth saying hi.

Bought an ex beer promo campervan about a year ago from a wrecking yard. Just in time as it was heading for the crusher the following week. Been stripping it back and getting it looking a bit more civilised. Lots of tidying up inside needed too.

It will be a while as I  have other project going on as well. I will be interested in hearing about diff and front end conversions, mine has the 173 with Celica 5spd but still screams its head off. No good for long distances or fuel economy.

Anyway looking forward to being a part of the BUGA community.

Regards

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

falcon and commodore are the same gears, just slightly different housing
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
