Rear Mount Turbo V8 Ice Cream Van - IT'S MR ZIPPY!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This huge van was originally built by Ford for one purpose, TRANSIT! With a long wheel base and high roof, there's not many objects that won't fit in the back but how about the engine bay?
The factory diesel engines weren't all that exciting nor were they reliable so when the owner of this 2002 Transit wanted to keep it on the road he swapped in a 5.7L LS1 from a Holden Statesman!
Supercheap Auto wanted a wacky vehicle to be featured in their new Best Performing Oils video so a plan was hatched and Mr Zippy was born! With a rear mount G42 Turbo, a bunch of custom parts and an eye catching wrap job the van leaves The Skid Factory as a Turbo LS Ice cream van ready to tear up Lake Redline caravan park!

Unrelated to the video, but do you guys find that there is a recently increased interest in Australia in building NA subaru engines? There’s a few small manufacturers in the US offering lower compression rods and blocks and such for FB and EJ NA engines now, and one of their engines just won the regional rally championship. Also, I absolutely love this build and can’t wait to see more!

Depends who you ask 🤷🏽♂️tradesmen in the UK swear by these transits there's loads around of this generation from the earliest 2002 02 plated ones or the later 2014 63 plate last of the line. My builders had one when they were doing my house that one was a bit shit very rusty 😂it failed it's MOT had no tax or insurance and they still drove it until they saw another on my road offered 750 for it and got it was far less rusty and actually passed an MOT lol
Well done, Looks amazing. My kids are excited to get in their pa's van. Im also telling them to keep it like this and start an icecream business for drag races haha
Sick episode, looked like a tone of work. Loved the pipe work. I would build a chain driven supercharged ducati powered shopping trolley for supercheap - because is would like mad drag racing out of their store, hitting a ramp and flying (special effects) over their car park.

Wow i did not see a build like this coming.. i bloody love it.... on ya Woody...👍👍👍👍
Great to see you continuing the great work Woody. My build, an old Suzuki Sieara tray back made to look like a rock crawler but it has a rocking chair on the back with an "old coot with a blunderbas" shouting at all the noise and trying to load his gun as they chase off the "noisy" cars but the rocking chair rocking makes his powder and shot go all over the place as he tries to load.
I would definitely build an AMC pacer with a barra swap and glittery blue and orange 70's inspired paint. 4 inch dump pipe right out the front fender
Great work Woodman. I'd build a motorised TOOLPRO toolbox.
Nice to see a bit of ‘fabrication’ going on in the new shed Woody, doing well brother
Now to watch all the builds after the sca ad
I’d do a froffbaits van and force Supercheap to start selling tackle!
An idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while that I would definitely build for Supercheap would have to be a backwards Falcon, the shell of a AU-BF Falcon Wagon put on top of a BA-BF Fairlane. They have the exact same wheelbase, plenty of access to the engine bay from what was the boot, etc. I think it would just be really quirky when moving, but (nearly) comply normal when parked
For the Supercheap ad, I'd go find one of the old Japan Fire Service Datsun MK Patrols, swap the old petrol engine for an SD33T, stick it on a GQ patrol chassis with a stupidly big lift and tyres, and make sure the fire pump and everything on it is working. Probably hasn't got a huge amount of relavance to a supercheap ad, but it's a tiny Japanese fire truck which is just fkn mint.
A turbo K24 Brumby is what I would build! Imagine the skids!
This episode was great, i liked the pace and dynamic cast of friends/experts involved. good editing and humour. cheers
I haven't tuned in for awhile, but you look like have settled well and truly into the skid factory mkII. ultimate wacky car build would be like a Subaru Brumby with an overlander kit slapped on it.
Missed the opportunity to have Mr Whipple
Man, that sounds GOOD!!!
Awesome AF Woody! Give me a shout if you ever need a hand, I'm not that far away.
GSXR powered Mighty Boy!
Woody sounds a little less robotic on the voice overs……I miss robotic Woody 😛. Great video mate, one of your best for sure
Keeping with the van theme, I'd build an 83 Lite-Ace with a screaming 4agze on 13's scraping the bitumen 😂
The fresh fruit or seafood delivery cars at caravan parks are a classic. Some beat-up old rodeo Ute filled with fresh food, with a big donk in the front
Crazy build! Great to watch it unfold 👍😎
Keeping with the van theme. Gotta be a Suzuki Carry all with turbo 4agte. Still set it up as ice cream van but it'll be for little people. Snow Cream and the seven scoops.
Blown LS swamp boat with zoomies
Ice cream van+ sussy mustache= restraining order from approaching school grounds
For a SCA ad, I'd take something weird that no one will miss like a Chrysler PT Cruiser and do the whole 1940s race car thing with the wheels at the front outside of the front guards with the front narrower and make some noir schtick outta it, fedora and all. Cause why not.
Fantastic job on the scoop factory wrap looks schimko 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Twin turbo'd Lexus V8 jet sprint boat doing jumps would be epic. Thermal camera 😮😍
Coyote powered Tesla would be an interesting build
🇺🇸 Give Al our best a woody?. 🤙
Do a hearse with a mad turbo motor and (AL comes back from the dead for an episode haha 😂)
Well your whipping this project up The new theme song “whip in good” And instead of greensleves being played by the ice cream music Divo whip it good
Mad build Woody!
The future classic !!!! A supercharged Getz you’ll ballin on a budget
For the next build, Aussie version of a ramp truck, start with a Hilux, chasis extension to a dually rear axle or 6 wheeler.
That was awesome. Some mad skills there. What to build for the next SCA Oils Campaign? A turbo V8 forklift! :)

Woodchip factory looking fresh with a side of sprinkles! Love the content mate from a farmer in northern nsw. For the next super cheap build I would do an old fj Holden, 6x6 off-road beast with a turbo diesel conversion out of an old tractor or something. Cheers
wow amazing looks super jet sprint boat
Given the opportunity I'd do a Suzuki Cappuccino with a 13B. Just a bridge port with a single turbo. Nothing too insane. Because even 300hp would turn that go kart into an utter rocket. Blue with white stripes and stick some Dodge Viper badges onto it. Just make sure it has a decent set of anchors too because you need the whoa to match the go.

@@theskidfactory Ecotec in europe is like a curse word. They are 1.4 / 1.6 / 2.0 petrol engines in vauxhalls and wear out so fast, it's incredible. The factory spec oil comsumption is 1 DL / 1000km. They have tiny sumps / oil capacities, I almost drove my engine dry of oil on a single trip. It consumed 1-2 DL of oil every 100KM driven and the total capacity is like 3L on the smaller engines. Truly a shitty engine design
Love the SCA ads, I reckon you need a pretty unique build these days... gotta start with something a bit left field, maybe a hearse on a 4x4 chassis with some big muddies? Or a hot rodded version of one of those tractors they use to collect trolleys in shopping centres?
those full floating hub ford 9'' axle hub swap ends actually make the cars and trucks safer.
Woody boy, if that 5.7 is stock it’s gonna need valve springs to hold boost. If you have a mate with stock ls3 yellow/blue springs they work ok as a drop in
You guys make it look easy! Also, the LS1 in the Transit seems to fit really well, like it was made to be there.
Congrats man you have properly transitioned the channel. What a sick build!
Great work Woody🍻 Build idea: Gemini panel van on a Suzuki Sierra chassis. I'll even give you the panel van shell
I would build a float with a big Al head as the front and a chooch at the back haha. And maybe the big grom driving.
UK Ford actually built a couple of Transit Race Vans, one had a Cosworth, there's video of them, the original 70's era one was cool.

Series 3 Land Rover with a turbo RB30. MAKE IT HAPPEN,😮.
For SCA, i would build a cart out of a Corolla, or other nugget. Who doesn't want a 4 cylinder cart which weighs next to nothing. I haven't decided if I'd go for go-cart tyres or bigger wheels for more clearance. Maybe it would be a good build competition between two teams, pick a nugget and build a tiny race car out of it. :-)
Onya Woody, big call but ya doing good things !
I'd put a B16 in an older Mazda 2 (the model eith the really square back like a tiny van). I'd raise the height on coilovers and make a dirt racer. It'd have a huge bullbar for crashing through fences and driving through parks etc and big spotlights for seeing the other cars it hunts down lol.
