    Appreciate the help
    I did that for my van and its coming along well. I recommend grabbing a late model series 2 Caprice as apart from the best looking WB statesman front end, it will contain some really cool treats that might be useful in your build. Think full electrics with strange and forgotten options, cruise control, electronic trip computer, electric wing mirrors, impact intrusion bars and speaker pods in the doors etc.

    Yep. I can live with a single headlight front. And I've got a grille and a bumper too. Headlight surrounds can't be hard to find.....

    I'll check it all out next time I go out. I think I have the HJ rad support with the WB radiator mounts but can't be sure of that. Should have some headlight surrounds there somewhere.
    Drop us a line next time you're coming up to Canberra.

    Will do. Thanks.

    We are going to Canberra next Wednesday to take some friends to pick up their new HJ Belmont van, arriving on a truck from Perth. It will be a lightning visit though.... I don't know where the van will be yet, and we have to go to Rivett to see Donnas mum.
