g'day,
i just bought a ek genuine windowless van, it was an-ex street / show car. so someone may know of it ?. i'll be posting pic's of the beast tomorrow avro as i just finished getting it home.
spec's are; 202red,
5speed celica box,
xu-1 lsd,
13x7 colour coded 5spoke thrust wheel's (dragway type),
nasco scatch plates,
heater,
window washer bottle set-up,
rare folding rear seat fitted,
rare speaker grill gauge holder and gauge's,
lower spring's sway bar's etc,
electric window's and custom fitted inner door handle's (jap),
and a blank steering column but eh wheel on it,
polished stained rear floor board but a little worn,
toyota red mica metallic paint but faded and stone chipped,
i know the pic's will help but does this car sound familiar to anyone it was running around newcastle/sydney between 1999/2001 until it was stored away in 2001.

wow,
i've just found out what an amazing history this van has. unfortunately the ex-owner/builder is not with them anymore but his wife was very nicely enough to tell me about the van, what a great person. well
before a restore it was a shed for a diesel engine pump,no rust because of the diesel fuel all over it. that's when they got it of a friend from tomago, towed it to there place where the restoration begain and a totolly re-built.yes it was at the tamworth national too was originally for a cruize but was advise to enter, it also has won numerous trophy's, i'm getting more pic's emailed to me soon of it in it glory day's in exchance for some current one's i have - can't wait to see though's. they still have the original show board for the van too, i can't put the name of the person's up here as i did not ask for permission.dam should of waitedto find out the history as i'am hencing to sell the van now i know.
