Clubvan #2

[scrw.]

Decided to do a new thread on this one, may do some different engine tweaks on it.

As it stood a few weeks back, another 1.6D Cooper Clubvan to bring back from the dead.

So plan on this one is replace the dead engine (cam chain), look at different turbo & bigger intercooler, leather seat swapout, Journeys Offroad 2.5" lift...and various other pimping out bits. This is a better spec than my other 2 vans so will build this one to keep.

PO saw fit to remove the brake pads on the black one, and given the disks were scruffy decided to replace the whole lot, having a handbrake will be handy when taking the engine out LOL. Also adding about 50BHP with some calliper paint!

Lift kit in at the rear and the brakes finished. Will give the subframe some waxoil tomorrow and fit the AT wheels on the back, then its on to getting the old motor out.

Waxoiled the rear subframe area & fitted the wheels that I had on the white one, back end complete!

Air con & engine rad are toast, really rotten, so expect intercooler is too. Excuse to fit a larger intercooler, will see if the standard is the same as an N14 and if an N14 chinacooler will fit.
