take the hump out of the floor. down to the bench seat mounts and use Jap import coupe seats . Then convert your front end to rack , then you can drop your colum abit for more comfortable drivimg posie(use FX-FJ colum mounts) .These are the mods done to my Van-ute and it works atreat

Cheers
Axeman

I might have to come up and have a squiz at what your up to Axeman

How 'bout some old VW Beetle seats, I've sean 'em used before and they look quite period (like the old tuck 'n' roll style) and they flip forward also. Can get them pretty cheap also (added bonus)
Cheers,
SCK

Is that with stock floor pans?

I was thinking the same thing

Ratbox would have had it finished 4 pages ago

i prolly would have been well on my way

but you have a job and based on yor sedan it will be a much classier job than i'de do

but it would be killing me not doing anything

Finally

work starts this week!

The pics you've seen so far of the van, show it from its best angle.
These next pics, show the extent of the problem with the roof.

Well, I've hooked up with a friend of a friend, who's a Hot Rodder
and has done several chops before.
He's going to work with me, to get this roof finished

I have aquired a second van (windowless) to cut out the sections
we need to restore the roof.

Work is starting this week, so I will show the progress as we go along.

The aim is for it to be a Chopped Windowless Van

gday thommo , just love the chain steering wheel ,also the other van looks like julious old van?

mrs ratbox · Post by **mrs ratbox** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 10:27 pm

i tried to buy the other van before i bought the one i have now
it seems a shame to cut up what seems to be a good van

can't you find a worse one

especially as though you have the time there was some sad vans at that graveyard place
