Happy days - must be a weight off knowing that its all done. Thanks for sharing the looooong journey - just been looking back for inspiration on my build.

Great news - well done.

Cheers,
Harv

Congrats Greg now it's time to punt it down the road and get some K's on it to really enjoy all the hard tack you have put in.

should go full rego first year so you can drive the wheels off it with no limitations (other than a speed limit unless you also believe in this take out riding and insert driving )

Awesome news!

Thanks for congrats guys, its well absorbed !!

Got it weighed today, 1440 KGs, a bit heavier than i thought but then again, 9 inch, turbo700, chev donk, chassis kit, fans, big radiator, caltracs, etc etc all adds up !!!

I have to now do a rego inspection, blue slip then off to TfNSW, still a nountain !!!

Regards Greg

Not too bad considering it’s practically bulletproof.

All most the same build as Harv but you came in 140kg lighter van's must be heaver ?
Sorry I meant Wagon but you knew that

From the Workshop manual, wagons (both Specials and Standards) are 116lb, or 52kg heavier.

... mine is 100kg overweight for all the assorted crap on it that it doesn't need if I was smarter (brake pump, dynamat, towbar, windshields, foglights etc).

The extra weight and bigger wheels will be an advantage at “highway” speed, in terms of staying on the blacktop…..

Well done Greg, great work, will have to remember not to take you on at the lights, mine came in at 1520kg.

You boys must be adding a lot of weight with those extra cylinders frank only came in at just over 1200 Kgs I know it is a Ute and all and I'm missing cylinders but a couple of 100Kgs is a fair bit in my book

The Buick V6's are 70kg lighter than a small block chebbie. The utes are another 45kg lighter than my wagon.

Harv

Mmm, 9" v B/W 78 LSD, electric A/C compressor, A/C hoses to boot, Astra P/S pump, 70lts of fuel, 1/2" square tube false floor, don't think there's 80kg there, anyway is what it is.
1520kg 800 front 720 rear, might try a different weigh bridge, one day.
