Ok, here's a thread on my WB panel van.

At the moment I'm sticking a VN 5L and auto in it. I'm at work now so these are just a few pics I have on photobucket. Updates will be slow and at random, as spare time is a rare commodity between the mrs and kids, and working full time night shift.

As it is now:

Currently running a VP v6 and auto. Messy conversion, but everything works:

The donor car. VN:

Need to get it back on the road so bodywork will be later rather than sooner, but I want it matt black and lowered from it's current 4wd height, maybe widened stockies or something. See what happens...
Also gonna get rid of the WB front for a H-whatever frontend I come across. Preferably twin headlight.
Will also be chucking the VN LSD under it as well, once the engine is sorted.

And for those interested, here's a couple of pics of my Toranas.
LC. Currently in the shed with no front end under it.

Hahaha, once I get this going I'll be back into the LC and I'll start a thread.

Cheers mate. It looks better in pics than it is. Not to say it's bad, but it needs some minor body work.

The LH isn't an SL/R 5000 either, it's only a 202 in the second pic, which the exhaust gives away. But it's a factory 253/4 speed SL/R, which is the next best thing...

Looks like a fun project for sure. Be heaps better with the 5 litre in it, they don't set the world on fire, but they do everything they need to do. The first thing i'd be doing is getting rid of those hidious WB front panels and tail lights...
