Justin's Van

I just had to put this up. Justin showed off his Type-1 conversion to his Van to me last night and I will have to say that I was impressed. I don't know much hassel he went though or how many times he jerked it in and
out to get it right but He did a very sanitary job. Loved the new piece of engine tin that filled up the hole where the Type-4 engine use to lurk. It might be slower,but you don't have to have a Irag war size budget to keep it on the road. It runs like a top.
Dang Justin !! You are not as dumb as your sweet little wife said you were . :lol: :lol:
Quit hanging around Zen so much and you might remember to put gas in the Van once in a while or you could do something really weird like fix the fuel gauge . DUH ! :roll: :roll:
Good Job !!

I wish I could take some of the credit since it turned out so good, but my only part in the whole deal was loaning him a few junk parts I had buried in the garage. I did go over an offer a little moral support a couple of times when he was doubting himself, but other than providing a little shove a time or two when he was putting the engine in, I didn't touch it. I'm impressed with the results as well!

On the running out of gas thing . . . all I say is the torch has been passed! :lol:

Now you just have to keep it that way.

not a problem with the keeping it clean part. there are no oil leaks. even with the external oil cooling system and filter. thanks.
