G'day All,
New to the forum, which I know is new as well. Hope the forum goes well. Anyway my name is Glenn H. & I reside in Brissy. 2 years ago I purchased my van from Mildura, Vic. The outside was restored but nothing else. When I first went to look at the van I noticed it had HX stripes on a HJ. When I enquired about it the owner said he put them on after painting the van only because he preferred them (if it was up to me I would have left it up to the potentialy new owner). I have purchased & good set of HJ stripes & GTS guards so I can return it to it's originality fairly easy. The missus doesn't want me to as she likes the louder stripes better. What does eveyrone else think? Anyway the car being an inland car its whole life was found to be 99% rust free.
I bought it & went I got it home spent the next 6 months doing the following,
1. New motor (original wasn't with the car & the motor that was, was beyond repair).
2. Complete new front end.
3. New interior.
4. Rebuilt trans.
5. Rebuilt diff.
Plus heaps of other little things. The only thing left to do is put in the full roof lining, so if anyone knows someone in Brissy who can help let me know.
Plates say it was -
1. Adel built 8/75
2. L32
3. M40
4. GU7
5. Trim 1888 - Gazelle
6. 568-15951 - Cotillion White











cheers,
Glenn.
