narrowed front, wagenswest horseshoe plates and c notched
running 145 front and 165 rear rides like a caddy

Loving this stance

and Vince's Panel van has always done it for me :

All work done @ Vintage Autohaus, France

Right my van has been set up by Mark and Matt @ Autotechniks, now based very near Epsom Downs racecourse

Mark's beige 68 is the MUTTS NUTS in street or race guise, It's a link pin front end, adj spring plates at the rear, and A LOT of custom work to run the porsche brakes he was after, and a bit of chassis notching to get it to ride correctly. Mark tests and proves everything on his own van first so REALLY knows how to set up a a vehicle.

and now for MY 69 :mrgreen:

I'm running 175/55/15's, CE weedeater 2 beam with welded drop spindles and Wilwood 4 pot calipers with vented discs up front,

and 205/70/15's with just a 2 spline drop at the rear (Adj spring plates on the WANT list)

Rear Looks too high in the middle pic as the van was HEAVILY loaded driving to Norway and back in August,

as you can guess it's damn comfy and rides well, Norway and back felt like a little drive to the shops!

Not narrowed at the front, but running adjusters and Wagenswest dropped spindles on stock wheels and 165/65/14 up front and 185/65/14 at rear, lowered one inner at rear... Oh yeah, and beam chopped at bottom by a couple of inches!

And no scrapage anymore!

The bracket on the sliding door is part of the swing out ambulance step, a standard fitment to all South African Deluxe Bays
