Good work

Looks like a very neat fit.
Great sleeper.

thanks guys other than fitting a bigger trans tunnel and making some engine mounts it fits straight in. next is to plumb up the fuel system wire up the computer then its of to the tuners

I once saw a HG Ute at Eastern Creek (for a ride day) and it had a VL 3l turbo with a 5 speed in it.
It had stock looking rims, body, interior, venetian etc and was a true sleeper.

thats the way iam heading origanal colour (wedgewood blue) bench seat stock trim but maybe a set of convo, i think the stock trims just look really clean with a coulpe of small billet extras and autometer gauges

sweet ride. and will have to go to boot. nice job keep the build pics coming we all love them.

Great choice of van mate. Had my fair share of EJ,s and EH,s over the years. Stilll got an EJ van now as well as an EJ and EH ute as well. Just love them. Build seems to be coming along nicely. Keep up the good work and go the 60,s Holden vans.

Awesome van mate!!!
My mate had a hd sedan with a rb30 turbo, shortened vl turbo diff, but auto.
He used the vl brakes front and back and ran 15" commo chasers. The rears were widened inwards up to 10" and he minitubbed it. Lowered, whitewalls, venetians, sunvisor and even a crocheted rug over the back seat. Full sleeper! Oh and he had rear wheel spats......looked ace.
Can't wait to see this old girl finished...

that sounds like my kind of car i love the early holdens i sold my supercharged 202 eh sedan (for less than i should of) to fund the start of this build you just cant beat the 60s era of holdens did your mates hd go good

The hd was BEAUTIFUL!! He ran an aftermarket computer with multiple pre-sets. It was very economical for everyday driving then you press another button and it sets up a 2 stage boost- 12psi take off and 18psi at 4000rpm. Driving at 100km in 4th (manual shift auto), click it into 3rd and plant your foot and watch the smoke peel off the back... what a site!! The ride was awesome with dropped spindle fronts to keep the full travel. Ebayed it a few years back and a bloke from WA flew over and drove it back. He rang up and said he averaged 8.5L/100km but it was a little high because of the long straight roads and lack of coppers in the outback.....
He regrets selling it still to this day!!

i'm soooooo jealous, always wanted an EH windowless.... maybe one day......

it was the best $800 i ever spent
