Hi Guys,

I thought that I should pull my finger out and learn how to post photo's. So here is the build so far.

I'm running a 179 with twin carbs, extractors, electronic ignition, 5 speed, HR disc front end, HR diff.

This is when I first started to prep the van

Next job is to change the wheels to steelies, and lower it as far as possible and have the exhaust exit from the side.

And take it from there!

Thanks for looking!

Hi Guys,

Thanks Trev, pretty happy about how the van is coming along. Should look a whole lot better when I get them rims and tyres off you later in the month and lower it into the weeds.

Hi Harko, I purchased the van from a fellow in Cabramatta as WOT179 said.

Sunny Tim, always good to see any FB EK out on the tar! Especially Vans!

Gday ZL296, Who Knows if I am a grave robber??????

I bought a rocker cover off that fella at Cabramatta...a real nice bloke.

He played in a Beatles cover band.

He had a sedan as well.

I like how its coming along. :)

Possibly it came from here and went there.
The one I remember had been sprayed yellow new rubbers n stuff and stored in a backyard with a goat.
The goat felt intimidated by its reflection in the shiny new paint and left a whole lotta dents down the sides and over the top .
