From the looks of those wheel arches it has dual rear wheels, is that so ?

Finally got my doors on!  all locking and working perfectly after 3 days of knuckle grazing

inside the doors and lots n lots  of swearing!!! :D 8)



i have also finally stopped my back doors from squeaking!!! Yay

one of the bains of my existence!

i put some high density rubber between both the upper and lower door catches on the van

it stops the vibrations of the door transferring into the van

u just adjust the door catches on the doors too n alls sweet

put the diff, rear shockies and handbrake assembly into the beddy truck form the donor van today, everything bolted in as it should have.....i am stoked that i had no dramas at all....the shockies are new and the drum brakes have new shoes, i am hoping when i bleed it all up that the wheel cylinders are still ok as well....gotta go to Bunbury this week so that is going to put me behind schedule.....was hoping to have it in primer this week.

Finished the radiator mounting brackets, bolted it all up, plumbed the auto cooler, so far so good.

New(old) auto seems OK - time will tell.
