here are some pic's of our ek van project [/img]
our plan is to keep the red 6 and auto in it store the battery, remote brake booster, gas tanks and what era else under the rear floors.
body wise i plan to take out the front body lines on the guards, hopefully i can talk her into going matt black, as this is the wifes car i have to go with her plans, and that could take a few turns over the build, i do not plan to get this done in any time frame as it a long term project, but will keep posting pics cheers.............tim & shell

Ive already relocated the battery in my van just behind the drivers seat underneath the flooring , not too hard and still plenty of room. Slotted a batt cut off switch in between the front buckets, mounted on the metal step to the rear.
This car is also destined for the missus and parts pick-up car. That said I think Shell has intentions of turning it into a pug mobile..... shes got the security suit lined up for the dog to act as the van alarm.
She also wants AC so im thinking a little unit mounted underneath the flooring (right behind front seats) with cut outs on the step-up for vents.

thanks, i thought that it was in pretty good shape myself when i brought it but when i started to get into it i was very disapointed with what i got this will test out every skill that i have ( which isnt much ) at some stage of it's life it got a major rebuild (or bog)
cant complain though i am liking the challenge of it all

Lucky basterd !! If I had the cash I would buy a panelvan for sure, the more I look at them the more I am falling in love with their lines. such a cool car . If I got one though it would have to be windowless, or if it wasn't it soon would be . Are you going to keep the side window or get rid of it ? Looks like you have a mountain of work in front of you, just remember a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
