My $1423.65 busa transporter

[boazalmighty]

OK...
i have to give props to FATE for giving me this idea

been shopping around online for a cargo van close by to me so i could check it out first and pick it up my self and not spend an arm n' a leg on gas

found 1 in east moline (sorry gsxtacy for not calling ya but i was rushing on time) a fleet van, great shape, they bought it new, serviced regularly at the local dealership
went up there check'd it out, liked it, rented a tow dolly , put my neon in the back of it and drove home no prob.
i got just over a 1000 bux in it after taggin it and insurance and paying for it.

got it home,  gutted it out , cleaned the floor, removed all cabinets and carpet.
flushed the motor oil, put synthetic blend in,  flush the brakes, trans fluid, coolant and mounted new load range E tires on, and a complete tune up with the fuel system (carbon removed from intake)

runs next to new now

now to get the bike in and keep it steady there was only 1 way to go

i didnt want to cut any corners there so...
this just came in

why not get the yellow...



got me a simple ramp and im building the side ramps my self for me to walk on from scrap wood
got some straps to and the local hardware store

i think its good for now

 

[boazalmighty]

i would like to get any suggestions from you guys on how to finish the interior.. i want to put some panaling and my some all weather carpet inside , maybe a checkered floor  ,  i got room for a tool box which ill mount inside eventually and maybe rear and front spare (cause i want to be just like HAL

)

but so far i think ive done pretty good

it be alot easier making to all the meets next season now

 

[Zoinks!]

Looks good so far man! Looks like you're gonna have a pretty nice setup by the time it's all done.

 

[BigBSBusa]

Lookin' good.

 

[05BusaLe]

Looks good!
I would set it up so the bike is on one side of the van (not in the middle) so that you can sleep next to it in a sleeping bag (no better security)

 

[scoot]

rhino line the rear end of the van..durable and you can wash it off with ease and the yellow baxley will look killer in there...

 

[big jim]

looks good. I like it

 

[twotonevert]

I am with scoot, rhino line it.

i was thinking of that as well, itll probably be in the middle for now, untill i get back from smithers and ill start rearanging things

 

[Mr Bogus]

how much "head" room do you have with the bike inside? we used to haul mx bikes like this all the time to the races.. we had to sleep in the back as well so it was also our hotel room LOL

 

[boazalmighty]

i just duck a lil, the bike is lowered and has a shaved seat
