I have also seen that spoiler on the Sandman Panelvan as well, but I believe it was mainly an option for the ute.

Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Friday, 04 January, 2013, 11:44:41 PM Hi again James, that sounds like an interesting little engine you have there. This may help decide exactly what you got...
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Kent_engine It's fairly thorough with configuration and some markings to help. Hope this helps, Cheers Shane. Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Sunday, 06 January, 2013, 01:27:15 PM Me again......any chance of a couple more pics? Did you narrow down the engine? (hopefully the twin cam), future plans for car? Gee I can be annoying for a ghost!

No problems I have not really had any chance to get back to the car since getting it and clean it out to have a good look at it You are more than welcome to have a squizz if you want just got to arrange a time The car is down south currently near Christies Beach Let me know or I will get more pics when I go next time Regards James Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Tuesday, 08 January, 2013, 09:10:58 AM I think I'll take you up on that offer James, of course then I will need to change my username! I doubt it will be this month. I have to build a shed, fix a car and sell it and I have another thing on the go which will take up a whole week if it works out. Keeping that a secret for now from everyone but the wife but I'll pm you if your extra curious! Christie's is a fair way, are you there during the day because sometimes I go to McLaren vale for work and I could swing by, otherwise it would be more like late Feb or March. In the meantime some pics would be great but don't go out of your way.
Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: D4 on Saturday, 12 January, 2013, 08:04:22 AM :D :D James there had better be some family pictures of the new arrival to the family over-draft at January 2013 dinner or their may be a rebellion. Personally put me down for a rebellion I missed the last one.
??? Any-one have a cheap VW type 1 2 or 3 with S.A. plates ust a thought also have we and or all decided on this years fancy dress theme. ;D ;D After last years display you can only commend those two Gentlemen for having more ball's than the rest of us, All the best good friends and James. whistle whistle Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Saturday, 12 January, 2013, 09:54:05 AM Hi D4, there's one on gumtree for $600. It's a rusty '74. Here's a link.
http://m.gumtree.com.au/1974-volkswagen-beetle-coupe/v?adId=1011732121&page=1#vw You might be able to convince one of the other members to check it out for you. I won't be down that way unless I get a chance to visit James' new pride and joy. Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Tuesday, 15 January, 2013, 10:01:26 PM I'll be down that way today if a visit is possible? Wouldn't be until after lunch and only a quick stop.
Cheers Shane Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: WYKED1 on Wednesday, 16 January, 2013, 12:32:05 AM Sorry cant make it today having solar panels installed
and have to be home regards James Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Wednesday, 16 January, 2013, 03:53:18 AM That's cool, we will postpone for a day with more time. I've got the daughter on my side at least, she keeps asking to see the picture of the red car. Now if only I could get the wife on board! One day James, one day. I was hoping to get a part in a movie being filmed here but it looks like it won't happen so the time I booked off work for that will now be spent doing shed building, car and house repairs, etc. So maybe in that time an opportunity might happen.
Cheers Title: Re: Look what I found in a shed Post by: the phantom mechanic on Friday, 01 February, 2013, 11:41:36 PM Any progress on this James? Some more pics? I was hoping to visit about this time but progress on home jobs is slow. Plus my Subaru has probably done a water pump which on an ej22 means removing timing belt etc. There's no holiday in holidays anymore!
