Nice resto on the Chev.
Pity they look more like a land yacht than a car!

at a cursory glance yeah but it's rusting in some nasty places, i think it was restored maybe 10 years ago but the bloke that owns it leaves it outside all year round. It is an audacious thing though, can't help smiling when i look at all the overdesigned styling, it's so optimistic, really of it's time.

Cheers mate - with the tyres, I want the vehicle looking stock so that's why they are on the inside. In the future if someone else likes whitewalls on a commercial or could do something with them then they are there.

Thats one nice looking panel van. Great resto.
Quick update, screen in, headling in (needs finishing), panels made for the cargo area (as well as making a new half-depth one for the sliding door to keep, I'm putting on a full depth one to protect the body from the inside, also putting a panel opposite the door on the o/s. There is no way anything rolling around inside is going to dent my bodywork..)
Got a final list now of 21 things that need to be done to finsh the van - this Saturday is the deadline as the years biggest show in Sydney is this Sunday, coincidental milestone - I'll put some pics up of it.

For all intents and purposes finished yesterday, bar some odds and sods - fit cargo area panels I've made, I'd say it's 99% there. Took it to the VW Nationals show in Sydney yesterday, our biggest annual show, really good turn-out, I'll post some pics of that on a seperate thread.
As clean as it is ever gonna be, just before leaving
At the show
And later, first passenger - taking my sister out for a spin
Off I go on my merry way...
