I reckon it would run smoother than a swiss watch.
It would be great to see some progress pics of the van,mate

Hi Dane,
Another enjoyable project,weeee.
Some may think i,m nuts doing this project,when Monaro,s lay around,but i,ve done to many of them, and I,m happy with the ones i have..I have a friend with a HD van,which to me is stunning,so i want one to.Have no spare money to buy one,so its being completely done by me,back yard style,hehehe.Also i,m enjoying the shaping of the different body lines ,no orbital tools shaping this old girl.
Scroll down the page and there is a picture of Ians HD van , with his son Craig driving.

HD's rock, let me know if you come across a wagon. i need a wagon and van to complete my set
HD vans are wicked,
Had a strange day today,went to buy a HD Prem at a sale,arrived to find a rusty peice of shit.So i thought the bucket seats would go good in the van,and console.Me thinks go $ 300 for the heap,first bid $500 plus gst.Frock it was a flintstone special and had been under water many times,only thing was it is a manual prem,which were rare,this was unrestorable,even the interior light on roof was rusted out.Anyways found a VW in the long grass so brought that home,not sure if its worth having?First forein car i,ve ever bought home.I,m sure ive seen hot roders turn these into split window.This shell has hardly any rust,probably case there is nothing left,hehehehe.

I,ve taken to the slopers,Norm educated me to them in recent times.Yes a Jag rear end,but i didn,t see what type of front end he was going to use.
Hi Hamo,
It would be good to video my movements on the weekend up here,best i can do is share some pics,as i,m sure others have the same interests in cars as i do.
And a fella i knows sloper,i think it,s very cool.

that oval window vw is a classic, worth shitloads
I,m going to use it as a garden ornament for a while.
Went to visit a friend on the weekend,he is a master with steel, and glass hot rods.
