hello everyone

im new to this forum, but tag along with VCSA when i can, my pano has been off the road for a little over a year now so thats slowed us down a fair bit. ive got a HQ with a HZ front. owned the beast for 7 years and shes my baby

not a sandman but im glad its not, as then id want to restore to original glory instead a custom job im going to do. have a nice big mural planned

shes a bit of a wird van as the numbers all say something different. the plan is to stick an injected 5L in as i now have a disabilty which makes it very hard to fiddle with temperamental carbys. so my current 308 is up for sale. if anyone is keen let me know, will need a rebuild but is a very nice motor. the disabilty is making the resto rather slow, as a lot of it i will b doing using my feet. LOL! a few of u i may already know from the majestic vanners forum. im a qualified spray painter, tho an injury stopped it, i can still offer advice whre needed, so feel free to pick my brain for paint/panel questions

heres a piccie of my beast. i miss driving it so much its not funny. my car at the min has nothing on my panelvan.

this is what she looked like before a minor quick tidy up

the planned murals

and the for sale engine

Welcome to the forums, it will be great to see a fantastic new muralled van in the making - especially in SA.

Welcome to the forums.

Did you get the side windows filled in by someone or did you do those yourself?

Cheers,
Ambientgoat

Yay welcome mate. We miss your presence too, will be good to have you and your van back on the road. Pitty you're not closer for people to help u out with the resto. Maybe you'd be interested in hiring out a shed with Aaron...... we still looking for one at the moment :/
I love that pic of you with your van. One day Ill get one too, mine doesn't look pretty enough to take a picture of it, let alone pose with it.
Lets get some more VCSA people on here. :D We need some more members so we get vans on our cruises

Most members vans are off road at the moment, so we looking pretty pathetic. :cry:

Hey Hey, im working on it allright.... (end of october / early november i'll be rolling again, all shiny and new-like)

Epic_Dragon - being a spray painter, are you planning to do the murals yourself?

**Blocker** · 15-09-2010, 04:59 PM

Welcome to the forums, glad you found us and hope you enjoy your stay.

So how Epic are you really?

hope i put this in the correct section wasnt sure to post in here, or in the data thread. but can u guys make sense of my panelvans tags? they open up some confusion. and the tags certainly r not a strong point of mine. HQ belmont. but from others looking seems to suggest it was assembled in a few places? LOL!
