last regoed in 81, replaced all structural rust with fresh metal( only caught myself on fire twice), light rub down and sealed og paint, nice amount
of patina, 4 inch narrowed adjustable beam, zero offset dropped spindless, adjustable rear spring plates with a 3 inch step in the plate also. all
bushes, hoses, brakes and bearings replaced with new. freshened up1600 sp, with stainless exhaust, sidewinder remodded for extra clearance, interior
was a home job bar the front seats and door cards. fixed up the wirnig which was pretty good overall. rides nice at the level it is now and can clear
the speed humps (mostly) around coffs, been regoed for about a month now and cant get the smiile off my face, the OTHER car is getting cobwebs! any

Oh wow, that looks really nice mate. Good job.
Did you have to roll those rear guards?

Nice van mate. Would be better with a coat of paint. What's your plan for the interior? Is it staying a panel van? Looks too nice in there now to
carry loads.

....
thanks for the coments guys.................. rolling rear guards was not needed as im running some pretty small tyres at the back also, orig put
195/60/15's on and they were scraping the guards, so took them off and just put some 165/50 on, low profile so revs higher,but actually feels better
with a stoc 1600sp motor around town and on short trips, im definately getting some higher profile tyres on a set of stockies for the back for long
trips, should bring the top speed up a bit, but heck, its a kombi and its low...so slow i go anyway!, as for the interior.....i wanted to make it nice
and clean, all original paint still there, just covered with some fresh vinal and carpet on the floor, keeping it real simple here, building up a
brace and platform i can put in for camping trips, for the mattress, and as for the "coat of paint" each to there own i guess, personally, i love a
ratter, but even i like a bit of comfort on the inside!!!!
