NO! is that really your's? I have been asking people inmy area if they will sell me their vans, they are all too attached. That is one wild looking machine!

YOu can't just leave it at that, i need a story, where and when did you get that and how long have you been working on it?
Is it a 1lt turbo?
:P with envy

Okay, the goss is:

- Bought it about 2 months ago pretty much as you see it in the pics. Needed something to move parts and engines with.
- Being an import Every as opposed to a domestic Carry, it has an factory F5A turbo with a 5 speed box.
- Runs about 1 BAR of boost. (12-14PSI)
- Short wheelbase and RWD means that it is a total handfull in the wet, and quite often ends up across a few lanes of traffic in corners when the boost comes on! :D
- Only mods I have made so far are installing a BOV, fitting an XBOX and 18" screen, and giving it a good service and tune. It will probably end up getting an F8B block install once I've got the ute back on the road, and some bigger wheels.

Where was it advertised? I usually keep a pretty good eye on many importers/ebays and various carsales websites.
At least now i am not complety jealous. I want one of the SUper Carry deluxe 1lt 5spd high roof models. But still, that would be just as much fun!

Did you do the projector install?

Stereo and "disco" light pro were installed when I bougth it. I've put in a motorised disco ball though. :D

It was advertised in allclassifieds.com.au, the guy only lived in the next suburb! It was originally imported through Yahoo Motorsport last year as a stock white van before it was resprayed and had the stereo added.[/u]

No, my sheer lack of enthusiasm has distracted me from that green disaster! ;)
