Great shot of my van in her previous form!

This van is awsome, i just love it. I remember seeing it when i was in WA sitting in a front yard i think some where around the year 1999. Cant wait to see it finished, its my favourite LWB by far. I want one  ;D

Vanner065, for you a shot when she was first rolled out of the shed after 6months of daily rust cutting..




Craig, the van was an almost identical colour, had the rectangle XC grille, i thought it had side skirts tho i figured i had it mixed up when that photo had lake pipes. It had a rear window that popped up much like a sandman, tho it was bedford shape. i remember a diamond type shape set in wooden frame separating the front seats from the rear of the van with curtains. had bubble windows, a V8 of some sort. I saw it down at the 'blue light drags' at wanneroo once.
I saw it regularly between 1997 and 2000, then it was advertised in the quokka and i never saw it again.

No photos unfortunately :'(

Great photo, thanks.
Just a thought, don't know what you are doing with the wheels but they would look great if you painted the centres white with the outer polished.
cheers
