Look For in Adelaide

Actually i'd prefer to have no rear bumper at all on my HZ.
I'd prefer to have LTD tail lights.street8.jpg

I disagree Byron.
I'm still able to drop my tailgate and i have the wagon bar.
The reason i can do this is because, i have the bump stops on the end of the bolts, that hold it to the hinges.

Still doesn't stop the rear from looking awful though! Not your van, but the wagon rear bar setup in general.

Look what i have started. wow, you gotta love the passion!

I still don't have either any rear bumperetts or a good rear bar yet. the boys welded up the side holes for the bumperett mounts, is there a nut inside? or do they just bolt through? i can't remember..

I'm with you Mook. I've always liked the HQ wagon bumper on vans. However now as I'm an old fart I'd be keeping her original mate and going the bumperettes. Jeza

Hmmmm.

I myself love the full rear bars. This will start something im sure. I have a SEDAN bumper on my ute. I pulled it off the sedan myself. Fits ok I think. I filled in the bumper indent sections so sticking out the little does not matter.

I myself think the look tough. On the right ute/van. An original car done to original well maybe not. But a custom its a must have!

That ute is nice.

[mook]

me likey!
BTW my van is a WB body and has parts from almost every car holden came out with from HQ-WB so I'm not really fussed about it being original. lol

What colour is your van going to be Mook?

[mook]

So if i don't fill in the indented bits on the rear or shorten the bar it will look like something that cyclists will get caught up in..?

Already got colour on all inside edges, its Jamacia Lime. Looks Freakin sweet. Firewall and chassis is done as well, this week is the wishbones and suspension. I get some photos tomorrow.
