Ke26 Panelvan

[KE26 Wagon]

Just picked this up and have not decided what i am to do with it (also the wife is not to impressed due to having a Ke26 4door and a 72 HQ kingswood)

 

It is fairly rustly but still able to be saved, all the trim and mouldings are good and the tailgate does not have any rust at all.

 

If I am to keep it, it will probably get a SR20det and set up for the drags but still street rego'd

 

Tell me what you think?

My KE26 just got all emotional crying 'you found my brother' :y: ......... :hammer:

 

I'm sure I know of a potential buyer (not me, transport to QLD would cost a fortune) in NSW........ :y:

Thanks guys for the feedback, I think that I am going to try to hang onto it and take a leaf out of "bunzke" book

since its a commercial vehicle you could put a 1jz or 2jz into it legally.

 

i'm really keen for one of these, the timing isn't great at the moment. my plan is to do an electric motor conversion.

keep it, poor some time and money into and enjoy it.

 

if u sell it, you wont get much for it in the condition that its in, plus youll be kickin urself as soon as its gone. i promise.

electric motor conversion sounds interesting that will have some interesting torque.

 

Nice score on the van.

my understanding is that commercial vehicles fall into a different category in regards to engine swaps.

correct.

there's no 'hard' rules for commercial vehicles.

so long as what you put in is balanced by upgrading everything else for the large increase in power, you can theoretically put a twin-turbo'd v12 in.

each engineer will have different ideas on what is 'acceptable', so it pays to shop around and be honest.
