I prefer the blue version without all the crap around the windscreen.

george.

am thinking along the lines of trimming that down back to where it should be, as i dont think i'll be able to get it road legal with the lower visor/stone gaurd coming up that high. Plus the whole bonnet and Visor has been hinged in the front A pillar so that it can open up with plenty of clearance. Might been legal back then when there weren't so many rules but now days i don't think it will be

Good plan Scott, the light blue van has a much better look in my opinion. The window cover looks to much like something out of Mad Max or Death Race.

I recon it would look wicked black with heaps of airbrushed skulls n demons.
Blue or Pink just dosent seem to do it.

i do like the idea of something airbrushed onto it. one friend suggest that due to how it looks very Darth Vader-ish which gave way to the idea that it should get some Star Wars themed airbrushed artwork, which also gave way to the idea to that  some stunning bird should be chained up in the back dressed up in the Princess Leia slave outfit at shows........ ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hi Scott,

With the new Mad Max movie 'FURY ROAD' being released next year, I reckon Gordon's suggestion
for a Road Warrior theme is a boss idea. Timely too.

i agree it would suit a Road Warrior/Mad Max theme especially with the way it looks, was thinking some sort of mural on the back not sure if i'd theme it with a few of the MFP car's chasing the knight rider; the Interceptor chasing the toecutter & gang or the Interceptor/the Landau with some of the other of the Humungus's gangs cars in a chase scene or something along those lines
