barneybrendan Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 sorting through a cupboard today and found some photos of my old cf.it had full xjs running gear and a 6 ltr amc 360 engine with a torqueflite 727 auto trany.spent hours on this van even got bored one sunday morning and drew the silver surfer on the back of it.inside is citroen xm executive seats,managed to weld the citreon internal frame into the van so the rear seat fitted perfectly.Those were the days of run to the sun at newquay when it was fun.Irealy loved that van didnt realize i even had the photos the mini has a 3ltr essex engine was based on capri running gear thats the reason for the arches.

barneybrendan Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 I think you should of kept them in the cupboard! Loving the retro photos. na not the van ones anyway that thing was a beast 390hp and 392lb torque will always remember the thing all but pulling wheelies when i floored it.amc are real torquey engines can you imagine that thing sat next to you at the lights in your standard tt then the shame as you get beaten by a cf van.i had a 300zx tt when i had the van and the van would leave it easily.
