This came into our garage the other night, didn't know if you've seen it before.

I think that looks fantastic.

0-60 in about 10 minutes.

Looks great though

It's got more wood then the babe thread.

So, if the front brakes are anything to go with i'm also guessing its running a 911 or similar engine.

Possibly. But see the Top Gear episode where Clarkson kitted out an S Class with concrete and home decor etc. How slow was that!!?

And this van does have a lot of wood. That looks like solid oak flooring!

True but remembering that episode he had to level the front and back of the car out, clarksons 'figures' states they used 2 tons of concrete + all the other junk iirc.

Whilst i agree panel van vs wooded out van with large speakers would be slower if it has indeed got a 911 or similar engine in it won't be slow.

That looks pretty cool

[TW]Fox · 4 Nov 2008 at 12:52

Wow, I actually like that. No, seriously.

It wont be fast, either. Look at the performance figures for the 80's air cooled 911's and then imagine the same engine in a heavier vehicle.

Very nice Camper. Do you know what engineit's got in it?

penski · 4 Nov 2008 at 13:16

I won't be a 911 engine. It isn't an easy or common swap.

Hi-Po Type 1 or 4 flat-four, wasserboxer or Subaru lump.

I'd be surprised if it weighed more than a Mondeo, mind...

What sort of power should that be putting out Penksi (ballpark figure?)

ruffneck · 4 Nov 2008 at 13:27

love that!

Begbie · 4 Nov 2008 at 13:29

Wow, I like that!

Depends on what engine and what state of tune...Could be anything from 30 to 300+bhp.

That's narrowed it down a bit
