    Cheers guys
    Its been a bit of a daunting task taking it apart lots of swearing and cursing but i know trying to piece it all back together is really going to do my head in
    its been so long that i haven't played with these cars i have forgotten most of it

    Hopefully with the help of you guys and some good mates it will drive again one day

    Get ready for a barrage of questions

    Good on you Valencia, always good to make a start. Been many years since I worked on cars also, I understand how you feel.

    Have a HZ Brisbane-built XX7 van sitting in my shed in planning stage.

    Valencia, am looking forward to following your progress. No pressure.

    Blasting with sand/glass vs soda?

    Its gunna be a very long slow progress no pressure lol

    Yes Inners the body on this Van is very good i suppose being out of the elements for the last 25 years has helped lots
