History

I purchased the panelvan 12 months ago and is a work in progress.Was originally a 200 cubic inch straight six with a three speed column shift manual and drum brakes all round . The body is fairly ruff but has minimal rust and is solid still in the main structural areas, concidering it has been sitting in a paddock with other cars for at least 7-8years that I know of.

Modifications

Had a 221 6 cylinder in it when I got it.Had thought about fitting a 250 2V motor before going with the V8.Has now got a fuel injected 5litre in it and is coupled up to a V8 3 speed manual gearbox (not running as yet as the engine bay will have to be re painted,motor out again).Will upload new photos as work progresses.Is going to be converted back to window less panelvan.
