CF Bedford Van

no it does vp you have to use the vn and it gives options for vp vq and vn guards tail light and so on

doesn't have vp bumpers or bonnet or boot and moulding, only guards, lights and rear garnish option.

bumpers are the main defining features of VP, thats why VN were so ugly coz of the shit bumper they had

I did one of my car but it looked retarded with vn bits on it.

yeah I have heard the bedfords steering geometry is not that flash to begin with, but im not that keen to go messing with different racks and mounts, theres quite a few options out there for electric power steering, something i'll probably look at down the track if needs be, I've seen a few options which need a speed sensor input that then allows them to vary the load at higher speeds and if I did it that would be my preferred option!

its one of the things I love about my holden cruze, its SOOOO light in car parks but nice and heavy at freeway speeds, its really is a great advancement in power steering

feeling pretty productive this weekend cut down some trees (I wont bore you with that hehe) and got stuck into the floor supports for the engine hole, pretty happy with the outcome, and even though its just pop riveted in at the moment the floor is so strong now!

also got the steering column lower mount pretty well sussed out and tack welded in place!

will have to fill up a few spots where the original shifter went (at the back where you can see the steel bar exposed) and then its just about done for that part of it.

That is a very productive weekend!!

Its a very large hole when you see where the column ends up going through the floor.

love the over engineering looks strong as hell good effort

[Holden202T]

VL400 - yeah your not wrong, and it doesn't leave a lot of room for feet compared to your average family car! just lucky its an auto cause the clutch is normally on the left of the column!

I sure hope the engineer agrees delcowizzid

so I started on the T700 rebuild today! have had the parts for months, good to finally have it happening.

Managed to get all the case and parts washed up and did all the clutch packs and piston seals, just had a bit of an issue with the sprag falling apart with I removed it from the part it goes inside of, so I have to get a new one of them before I can do too much more.

general run down of mods, is going to be for towing so went for the tow/rv option clutch kit, apparently its good for 500hp so should be plenty for my needs, and put in a .570 boost valve, as well as corvette 1-2 servo and upgraded 3-4 servo and also used a TCI trans kit to give the slightly firmer shifts and extra pressures needed for the towing duties, other than that just service and renew/replace all seals and such.

Love this project!

[immortality]

Agreed, it's a great project. Plenty of no fuss engineering going on too.

I love the great work your doing and as an engineer your doing a fantastic job but its looking like you only need a right leg to drive it.
Where do you intend to put your left leg??
