Cold air intake for my van
« on: October 16, 2010, 02:19:56 PM »
Hiyall,

Dave here from Kelowna.

Got me a sweet old 62 VW van from my uncle. He was the first owner, and its in pretty mint shape just a bit of rust on the nose. Im gonna strip all the interior out and fit it with a sweet Chevy boogie van interior i got off my buddy. Im also gonna brighten up the hellishly dull exterior with a repsray in some Ferrari red color.

Some questions for ya: How do i fit a cold air intake to this puppy? Im gonna drill a 3" hole in the sides for a hose to connect to the carby, whadya think?

Im also thinkin of putting in a sunroof. Will a sawzall make a nice enuf hole, or would a cutoff disk on my grinder be better?

Thanks for all yer answers, and i look forward to meetin you guys :)

Dave

Make sure you cut out the rear fender wells to accommodate the giant Desert Dueler mud tires....

Are you going to lift it or slam it? Scrape that box or reach for the sky . . ;)
