Title: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: JB on April 08, 2003, 02:22:21 AM Hi Guys,
Finally got to steal a camera from a mate for more snaps. Have a peek at http://photo.starblvd.net/fevanv6 bottom of page 1 and start of page 2 for the latest, including brake booster, front discs, petrol tank, radiator, some wiring etc. Here is also one from the paint shop. (http://photo.starblvd.net/~fevanv6/2-2-5.jpg) More on Starblvd. Cheers Jason Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: FE_UTE on April 08, 2003, 03:12:24 AM Try this kink for photos

Nice work.. looks like all that time is paying off. That fuel tank is gob smacking.. nice work there! Question ( oh no...) do u run rubber EFI fuel hoses the length of the vehicle? Comparing the van u pulled out from the banana tree and the work in progress there, is pretty unbelievable.. hope those kwaka blinkers are going back on.. Cant wait to see it! One shot i found interesting (besides all the rest) was of the airbag .. how did u manage to unload it? steering shaft looks like it required alot of thought too. Cheers Ed Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: JB on April 09, 2003, 12:59:41 AM Hi guys,
The fuel tank was made to suit the gap where the original fuel tank went, just deeper to the front of the car and slightly smaller to the back for ground clearance. Total capacity about 90litres. I used steel lines from the engine to the raised section under the body for the diff, then fitted connections trough the floor to take the rubber lines to the tank. With the airbag Ed, it went off in the Vt donor car when it had the accident, all I have done is cut it out to stop it from getting the way. I will get a replacement cover for the wheel. Although I could fit the airbag and pre-tensioning seat belts, as all of the wiring is still there. but don't really know the consequence of the airbag going off in the FE so haven't done it. Cheers Jason ;D Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: zulu on April 09, 2003, 02:17:08 AM Jason, Looks like a top job, congratulations. I noticed in the earlier pics that your van had what appear to be sliding windows in the front, if you haven,chucked them or sold them I would be interested, as I only have plain glass in my panelvan & I want to fit a rear seat, they would be good for ventilation.
Regards Gary Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: JB on April 09, 2003, 05:50:37 AM Sorry Gary, but those windows were basically shot when I pulled them out, so go thrown away a couple of years ago. :(
Jason. Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: mcl1959 on April 10, 2003, 07:17:17 AM Gary - I have a set of sliding windows for the drivers side of a van. These came from a 3 door FC van I wrecked. The glass is broken, but frames are in good order.
send me a pm if interested. Ken Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: JB on November 05, 2003, 09:43:57 AM New snaps... Not finished but getting closer.

Thats one very nice looking Van you have there. All those hours have payed off. Regards Mark Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on November 05, 2003, 12:04:50 PM The only one that made me go WOW.......whoops wrong brand.
But damn, that is one nice looking van, what is the colour? Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: Ed on November 06, 2003, 04:47:52 AM Hi Jas,
Looks like you've been very busy!.. You're a couple (more like a fleet) of bumper bars ahead now. Stinky I once painted a bike a similar colour, From memory it was called Dark Cranberry, but Jason probably has a secret mix ;) Cheers Ed Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: JB on November 06, 2003, 07:58:58 AM The colour is from Crysler and is called Wildberry, belonging to the PT Cruiser that I swiped it from.
Hopefully registered in about 3 weeks. Many troubles with chrome though, still to get bits done, probably have to paint the bumperettes until the others come back. Cheers Jason. Title: Re: Fe Van Part 2 Post by: kalfe on November 07, 2003, 01:52:40 AM nice work jason

Your car is looking great. You have certainly put in a lot of time effort and a Sh#t load of cash and it shows. Well done hope to see the finished product real soon. Cheers Jim |
