Hi All,

No real preference as to type of van... my son is studying music @ Uni in Sydney and just needs a reliable set of wheels to lug all the gear around to gigs... plus camping gear etc when they hit the road to play in Byron later this year.

Budget is bugger all... Austudy grants being what they are... 3G or so at the most..

Thanks for the reminders guys...

Some excellent stuff on the forums... especially the pages on flares etc... seeing some of these pics reminds me of the glory days in the 70's... I've been pouring through old copies of Australian Custom Van and Rodder magazines for a few days now :)
