Trans Am front

[petrolhead]

Here is an intresting concept, has anybody seen the popular 70's Trans Am front on a Beddie? A mate of mine has one in his shed in Qld.

there is one floating around on ebay in WA from time to time. looks to be in good nick, think it was like $100.
They look cool but

[petrolhead]

Yep thats the one

I've seen it on HQ,s and the like over the years, panel vans mostly, and it looked crap on them. It is an ugly looking front on the original Trans Am without butchering the look of something else. If you want that front, get a Trans Am!

It seems a bit of a 'try hard' to me. A bit like those poor buggers that think by putting a Chev badge on their Commodores all of a sudden it is cool.

I totally agree with you beerbeddy,
I don't mind the commodore front, ford GT grill front.
But trans am? Don't think so.

But you just never know?
Do it petrolhead, you prob be the first.

I've seen one fitted to a Valiant Drifter van HUGE job to do but he pulled it off nicely

Dont know if its just me but ....the whole vanning genre is about getting in there, customising your beast by trying out this & that? A bit self expression is a good thing i reckon. There is too much cloning these days. If you like the trans am front...do it. If you love it, keep it. If you end up hating it, rip it off & try something else! IMHO, the trans am front looks cool.

VANCRAFT.
These are or were the guys pumping these out in the eighties.

Gidday, have a pic of one that was done over here in NZ in my gallery, in the album bedfords Ive photographed. Last saw it in the flesh at the 1999 van nationals in taupo. Check it out if you want to know whether it works on a cf or not.

Cheers Jeff
