Does it have a bike ramp and can we take it to AFR?

That takes me back,!! Spent many a night around Torquay freezing in the back of one of them babies, hoping for a good morning's surf.
Eventually I realised motorcycles could surf, and I was freed from water-ratdom.
Nice job Gibbo, looks real 60's..........

Yeah it's been hanging around for too long, the owner couldn't decide on the bottom colour, we got busy with other stuff, same old story. Just got a few odds and sods to finish and it will be gone :)

I didn't know you wuz a fellow Beddyphile Fimp, I've had 4 & currently got 2 of 'em, I'm busting my arse ATM on 1 CF 270 (semi camperised) getting it ready to take down to the WSBK then I'm gunna sell it off & go nuts on my red windowless 250 which I'll keep forever & get buried in. So far It's got a reco 202, draw thru carby Garret T04 turbo kit (not fitted yet) 5sp Dyna box, 9" 3-1 LSD, CRS front disc conversion, ally bullbar, sidesteps/skirts & rear step bar, adjustable Konis all round, lowered coils & leafs, Kmac front swaybar, 14 X 7 F & 15 X 10 US Racers (5 slot jellybean things) sliding sunroof, 1 off custom fibreglass dash (not the common Custom Cab jobbie) Supra buckets, 1 piece liftup tailgate, chrome grille, wooden Momo wheel, round smoked portholes, & probly more I can't remember. & there's a roof console on Ebay ATM I'm gunna bid on as well. It'll be a real oldskool 80s mobile when I'm finished with it. Plus, it'll go, stop & handle too.
What are your plans for yours? Easy Roller [:p] Stock resto [^] Camper [V] Mobile brothel [:0] Other [?]
I did see a Fimpsomething username on B.U.G.A. a while back, now it makes sense. :)
Let me know if you need any bits, I have excellent sources ;)

[latheboy]

You gonna get it Airbrushed TK .. A big arse dragon and a nude chick with swords maybe????

[fimpBIKES]

haha, really

thats cool, im in BUGA as "Conrad"
havent posted on there in a while though

i have an RB30 in mine with a manual turbo-skyline box on it, HKS extractors and ram-flo pod
did the engine conversion in 2003 and ive hardly touched it since :( cos its at my parents place

it came with fibreglass bonnet, big funky mirrors, engine cowl and sun visor (not bad for $500 with the fibreglass worth more than the van!)
and i have a 5 piece body-kit and one-piece rear-door skin sitting waiting

given myself til the end of this year to have it running and respectable
but of course, everything but one project is on hold til after april ;)

[TurboKat]

Just checked out your van on BUGA, (I coulda swore I saw a Fimpvan or summat somewhere while I was trawling Beddy sites) nice work there Fimpster [^] I'm planning on having mine finished by the end of the year as well, possibly even with a Commonwhore V6 & 5 speed... 2 words... BEDFORD RACE :D
I thought I was slack, I've only had mine for about 2 years & your shed is twice as big as mine, get into it lad!!!
Latheboy; No Dragons, swords or naked chicks mate, just a big shot of God sideways on the NSR. [8D]
