scooby powered bay.

i have been collection parts and selling parts, over the last couple of weeks and i had a day free so i thought i make a start..
twin fan rad with 2 stage fan
off a 205 gti ali corred


after a bit of chopping and re-arranging i managed to make the rad fit under the van



i still need to make a air scoop as the rad is going to get no air this way!
i may have ground clearance issues!!

now for my new toy

a bit of a clean


oh yeah and the worst bit off all. the loam

tomorrow after work gear box out, and start taking the harnice off the loam.

this looks fun

Dude please tell me your just joking about where the rad is mounted.. I reckon you'll rip that off on your first outing..
Can't you just snip it round and mount it between the chassis legs???

Can't wait to see it take shape buddy tis a cool conversion to do..

Rich beat me to it, that rad CANNOT go there fella!!

This looks like a thread to keep my eye on, good work Jamo

Will be a cool van when you are done Dude........I must pop over and get those tyres from you.

yeah man, no worries. the rad will only go there ive trierd every where else. it wont go any hirer because of the twin fans above. i measured bits and i still think my anti roll bar on the front will be lower. + the subaru sumps are massive, so that will be pretty close to the floor!
the engine is a ej22 out of a 97 legacy done 78 000 miles. so it should be pretty sound.

Sounds like you have a plan there fella.......a few more ponies in the back can't hurt!!

yeah it should give plenty of power and torue + a good standered lump to start messing about with. chips, re maping etc... cant wait

Yeah probably right dude but this engine has a better chance of survival with Jamo's Lead right foot

no, it just means it'll be bouncing off a limiter at higher revs instead

lol. time will tell. but either way im going to scare the sh1t out of some chav's...
cant wait. take the gear box out tonight and start attacking the loam.

dude, just got back to my office so im gonna nip next door and see what steel they got for your rad scoop.

love ya, and maybe some bits to make some brackets out of.

Joking apart this is one beast I can't wait to see fly and you are gonna scare the sh1t out of everyone not just chav's mate you'll have old ladies having heart attacks boy racers soiling themselves and best of all the biggest grin on your face that not even beshley could put there

lol

got back from work today put an hour in before the heavens opened.


all undone


all out plus removed the old engine mounts for the old brace bar

What box are you gonna be running in there dude??

same one for now. see how it performs, and eventually upgrage to a 091 box if this one ant no good.

started today on a bad1. i took me all morning to get bits and peices sorted in clevedon, i didnt get home till 1 and a was hoping to be back by 11
anyways started chopping bit out im never going to need again.




then for the scoop






a few edjustments and a paint




the back still needs attaching, hence why u can see light!
but thats all done now. Tomorrow am strip the harnce off.
and fingers cross my parts arrive in the morning so i can see if i can get the engine maried up with the gear box... i hope..

exactly what i was thinking

fone died after this point. so more pics tomorrow.
also sprayed up the engine bay and cut out more of that beem that went across the front of the engine bay. also re fitted gear box with new bell housing to make sure it still fits, which it does. so tomorrow get my head around this new clutch relise bearing kit. then get it fitted with the clutch. then fit gear box to engine. and start on loam, and right a list if parts needed ie rad hose, fuel hose and all connectors.

Did that tool do the trick dude?
