    Mandarin Red HX Van

    Here's a few pics of my van, these were taken when I first bought it 7 or 8 years ago because it didn't have my personalised plates on it yet. Its my only car not on club rego these days so I still use it pretty often infact it shares daily driving duties with my bike. Over the years I've done plenty of miles travelling down the east coast with Bathurst trips, a few van nats plus other holidays, also seen lots of Queensland in it and had more weekends up and down the coasts than I can remember.

    For me the most important thing with all my cars is to keep them on the road so I can continue driving and enjoying them.

    The van had a black interior when I got it but with late model seats and custom door trims ... I bought a HZ Kingswood with a buckskin interior and decided to put the seats and doortrims in the van, its my preferred combo now so I have left it like that.



    It's a big block 253!

    We had a long weekend here in Queensland, so my mate and I got our vans out for a few nights away.



    A coupla hundred of our kilometres were on unsealed roads and tracks.



    Here I am underneath securing the spare (a second time).
