    that radio is a good thing to have, plus the fact that the dash hasn't been cut about...also all those knobs are worth keeping as are getting scarce....good stuff great little assets....glad you got your gears sorted today

    How bout that stainless steel trim on the drivers side outer door, is that in good condition? Is there a passegenger side equivalent?

    Oh and the wheels arches, I didnt notice till now. Not sure if the rear wheel arch of a wagon is identical to a ute. Anyone know?

    Good stuff, love your work... Looking for a good interior for the van, not sure what model to use ;). Seat/s (bench with an armrest or bucket and a Dickie seat preferable) probably have to be WB, centre console and mount and a good dash... Maybe could wait for a nice GTS dash when I get the $$.

    Who am I kidding ha ha if you have a good interior with the bits I need, you'd know beter than me, for very cheap I would happily remove them from your wrecking yard ;)

    you can use a bench from hq-wb, buckets can be whatever just drill a few more holes, if i dont have it ill more than likely be able to get it, lucky you dont have a coupe, havent cracked into that market yet , dont know about a wrecking yard 11s not that many
