Well saved this poor van after sitting for 17 years, had the front wiped off and sat and sat. the owner was gunna get it back on the road but it never happened. Purchased it with an HZ chassis and it now sits on that. The [rest] of the body was very straight with minimal rust in lower sills.
Running a 308, 4 speed.

Nice colour and a good project, another van will be back on the road.
"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
Both sides are pretty straight, a bit of heavy surface rust on the drivers side upper wheel arch is the worst of it though [ this sat on the outside of the carport for all those years ]
am ordering some DY4 [yellow / l orange / orange ] stripes for it, Will look thru the forum to see what I need to do in order to adapt the wiring harness for a std dash to GTS dash swap.

Managed to find 4 GTS rims that needed a whole lot of work, just need to lay my hands on 2 more centers.

very happy with the results, totally changed the look of the van
Looks like it should have a GTS harness in it, quite often when people rip out the GTS dash they leave the harness (and the dash mounting frame) still in the car. The GTS dash mount frame is diferent to standard, but I think is the same as Premier (isnt it? - waiting for the correction). Look for the tacho wire (brown) at the loom in the engine bay comming from behind the brake vac. Might be taped up. Nice wheel stands btw!

I think the frames are the same (old memory), but the harness is different (same as GTS).
