I've had my van for 17 years now. I bought him in Huntly just outside of Bendigo and he was originally pale blue with no fins. Over the years he has had many mods...the fins were attached in 1994 or 1995.

Erasmus has a 192, a trimatic, HR front end and 14in wheels... I have done most of the work on it over the years with a bit of help too! I didn't do the body work for the fins too big a job for me! But most else I do.

Erasmus turns 50 next Feb so he is having a makeover for his birthday...(long over due)

The van looks a treat with the fins, I'd like to have a crack at that myself one day. Just got to clear the shed of my current projects and actually get one of them on the road, either that just get a bigger shed.

I'm looking forward to seeing the make over. Erasmus should scrub up beautifully. Love the name.

Good luck
Cheers

Depends on how fast or slow the rebuild goes! I would LOVE to have 'Ras at the Nats given that it is happening in his home town, but I have neglected him for a while now and it is gonna be a big job! I need a front passenger guard too so it depends on how long it takes to find one.
