    My HK van 1977-1979

    I dug up the old photo album with pics of my van. Most have aged poorly but I thought a few of you might like to see it.

    I bought it straight after leaving school in 1977 (wish I'd had it at school, think of the possibilities!) It was $2,500.00 and had a 307/Powerglide/10-bolt LSD. All GTS interior, dash, console with Knee-Knocker tacho, and GTS guards and bonnet. Odd wheels to start, but I fixed that not long after.

    The pics of me washing it are in front of my Aunties house, where I met my wife a few years later and it's the house we now live in, although you wouldn't recognise it after all the renovations.

    The custom van scene was in full swing so I went crazy and did a bunch of changes after seeing XX308 in a van show.

    The 307 was replaced by a 350 out of a 1969 Corvette, Statesman grille and headlight surrounds modified to fit and Torana A9X flairs to cover the monster M50/14 Supercharger tyres on the back. Custom fur interior changed constantly.

    Don't think I'd do all that to it now, but hey, it was the '70's and I was 18.....

    Pretty cool van to have on P-plates....the cops "loved" it!
