Vans of the 80's Where are they now ????

I'm sure that when i sell the HJ, i'd be REAL popular if i brought another van home to replace it.
I personally could see a 70's style wagon replacing the HJ.

such a shame re some of the older vans.... unfortunately, those that build them, keep them for a while, then decide on another project or just to get out of vanning due to other commitments etc... or for so many other reasons, some beyond their control, and they're then sold on to those that don't appreciate the work, effort, blood, sweat and tears that went into building these great vans... some of us put so much effort & pride into them, they are our heart & soul... or even if you don't go radical and build a wonder-van... your heart & soul are still in them. such a shame......

What astounds me is this guy walks past that car everyday for 15 years in his backyard watching it rust! I mean seriously mate, get rid of it if you're not going to do something with it.

Hey Rico no mate , Fuzz (original owner )spent $55, ooo building it when we found it it would cost just as much so he stripped it , full tailgate now on his show van sold the shell which was sent to the crushers (roof was rusted out)
