EK61 reminded me I haven't posted any progress pics of my van, so here goes....


There goes the 'flat' washed out paint everyone said I should keep!!




I have since installed front end, rack and pinion, motor, trans and hq discs and callipers but am thinking of changing calipers over to the slightly smaller WB style (less problems with seizing ).

Will try and take some current pics this weekend, as my weekdays are well and truly consumed with work at the moment.

Cheers,

Looking good there SCK, how long till she hits the road?
Trev

should be all finished and sorted by end of July. CANT WAIT!!

Looking great

Regards, Smooth

i can't beleive it i was thinking of doing a semi resto type deal on my van with shinny paint and stuff guess what colour
guess what wheels
looks good

Cheers Smooth

Hey Ratbox, little wonder you make such great progress with your cars, when you're checking the forum at 5am!

I'm really happy with the colour/ paint, the wheels are changing over to 14x5 and 14x6 chev rallye rims (just picked them up) they have the chromed outer rim and the inner will be red and has half/baby moon caps...they look tuff but period and should fatten the car up a bit with some wide whites...

Saving for CRS drop spindles now

good work
lookin pretty good

cheers dave

Very nice, the dash looks good matching the steering wheel too.

What motor and trans?

i'm screwed i can't sleep and it was far to cold to be in the shed
this thread needs to be deleted i can't stop stareing at those pics and it's gunna be worse when you put the other wheels on
i luv this car

Hey DR, Motor s balanced and blueprinted 202 with HP oil pump, mild ('beginners') cam and drive gears. Trans is rebuilt trimatic with stally. Diff will be torana to start, then changeover to shortened VN 10 Bolt with discs down the track.

Hey Ratbox, I'm flattered you like the car, I'm pretty fond of yours also (its a vanners thing... ) It's all coming together quite nicely.

If anyone has 2 front door trims in (dark) red that they wanna sell, drop me a line (want to match in with HR prem low buckets)

Cheers,

nice ride
love the colour, sorta like the old cop car blue
brings back memories
umm err you know matlock and that
nice one!

stinga

ummm errr, yeah I remember Matlock. ..no barnyard doors though...would love to find a barnyard door van, I do remember seeing one may years ago, thought it was a ripoff at $400!!

Rex around the corner from me has one, I think he was at the Nationals too. Its grey with red steelies and white walls...

Wow Nice Van SCK
Hope we can catch up with you and it when the cruizn season starts up.

Here is a shot of Rex's Barn Door Panel Van
