Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 thinking of turning my nimbus back to a van. then going essex v6, tubbs etc. my dilema is that she's lovely as she is but bloody slow. all comments welcome.
Admin Vista Posted April 19, 2010 Admin Report Posted April 19, 2010 Good campers are pretty rare, I'd be tempted to leave it as a camper..................don't fancy a V6 in an escort much myself (though I know it's been done successfully before) nothing to say you can't YB a camper though.
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 i know the old v6 is not a popular choice in eckies as they arent the most powerful lump and bloody heavy but the sound is lovely and they look great under the bonnet. fit so well.+ i want to keep it old skool. for me a modern lump just dont do it. maybe i will make it a v6 nimbus, at least the lump will pull all that weight in the back a bit easier.
Mrs O/H/C Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 Have you got Ali,s old nimbus ? ...if so keep it as it is
Admin Vista Posted April 19, 2010 Admin Report Posted April 19, 2010 I think a YB ceased to be modern a LONG time ago.
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 Have you got Ali,s old nimbus ? ...if so keep it as it is yeah kj's old 1 babe, needs more go under the bonnet. so bllody sloooooow
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 I think a YB ceased to be modern a LONG time ago. what lumps a yb then. ?
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 oh cheers, now thats not old skool enuf for me. like to keep the right era. goood lump though.
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 i know, pinto is a good choice but if i leave it as a camper i want something more cruisey. if i put a pinto in it then it will def go back to a van as i can scream it around then. maybe thats the way to go... arrgghh. its a hard choice. part of me wants to leave it as a camper and wack a v6 in it and part of wants to gut it out and make it a fun screamer.
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 get the v6 in it see every one; that just looks so right. bloody lovely joe you the man. i want to have a bloody good nose round that motor. just got to be.
Savvi Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 I'd leave it as a Nimbus camper, but then i have one of each anyway Campers are hard to find so if it's a good one i'd leave it, thinking of going Zetec in mine
Grizzley Dell Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Posted April 19, 2010 would be interesting to find out how many were made and how many still live. mines not to bad but its got the metal worm along the underside of the gutters, nasty.
old skool estate Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 How many people on here have got campers then??? i have a mk1 escort dormobile
