Jezza's SK410 Van Build
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2022 12:40 pm
Hi to those who still lurk on the forums!
Its sad how socials have made forums redundant these days. I find socials very hard to document a build/share it with others
So this is basically a way for me to document each step of my build for myself.. but enjoy anyways
A bit of history with my van:
I bought the van around 12-13 years ago just as a random purchase. The car sat around ~130k kms, now sitting on around ~184k kms
White, F10a with a 4 speed in pretty good nick! Only thing aftermarket it came with was a little sound system
Fast forward to 2021/2022, no real major work was done in between then and now, but the van needed some TLC due to some surface rust, scratches and dents
This is the list of work so far: (29/03/2022)
Engine and transmission
- Full transmission rebuild - new synchros, bearings, seals etc.
- New Exedy clutch
- Machined flywheel
- New transmission mount
- Engine machined, re-bore (slight oversize), decked
- New pistons, rings, gaskets, seals
- Carby rebuilt
- New radiator + hoses + thermostat
- New headers + exhasut (to be fabricated)
- New coolant and fuel lines where required
Suspension, brakes and wheels
- Lowered springs
- Lowered blocks
- New brake master cylinder
- Watanabe 13x6
- New black wheel nuts
- New black tyre valves
Interior
- Everything else painted black
- Black roof carpet
- Fabricated roof supports
- Black door carpet
- New interior light cover
- New wooden steering wheel and boss kit (doesnt fit!)
- New carbon fibre gear knob
- Leather seats fitting to factory rails
- Kicker speakers
- JVC headunit
External and body
- New headlights
- New taillights
- New sliding door window metal inserts + rubber
- Closed door respray in white
- Rust repaired and treated
- New windshield
- Tint all around
Late 2021, I decided to start repairing some of the surface rust and getting ready for paint
