HR Panel Van

[Sean Hammond]

Hey guys, devilrod directed me to this site, lots of neat stuff here!
From a hot rod background, although my dads first car was a lowered ek sedan with a tube grille. Collecting parts for my first hot rod project, a '35 &*#@ pickup. Have a complete EK dash to put in it so that might be a love/hate thing from EK fanatics. haha.
Im an apprentice panel beater by day and play in a few bands here in melb at night.
This is my daily driver/band equipment hauler/female attractor unit.
Was a one owner car until mid '06, I bought it off the nephew in-law of the original owner. Pretty much in original condition, paint has been touched up here and there but has held up well for forty years, although a friend at work planted a bug in my head about re spraying it this summer. (same colour of course!)
Runs a 202 with a 186 head, electronic ignition, 350 holley with extractors. Was only meant to be a temporary motor while i freshen the original 161 up..plans changed when i found out this motor hauled ASS. hahaha.
Early commonwhore seats re trimmed, premier steering wheel painted to look marblized. Car is lowered about 4 inches but depending on how many amps are in the back can get to about 6"

Sure hope the old dude that owned it likes side pipes

Great car. Windowless old holden vans look great!

An ( unrestored but in good nic) FJ windowless van got passed in on Ebay this week for $32,323 was the top bid of 17 bids.
Reserve not met! Now that shows what sort of money some cars are going for these days!

not his best effort though he's dragged another one up in the spotto section that was just over 5 years old

Hard to tell, but looks like it might have some flake in the paint on the wheel?
