Post by: pickmeup on June 17, 2010, 04:09:22 AM

This van has been seen on here before but not sure same owner.
If you follow the thread you will see I have suggested this site and he acknologes being here,but looks like he chosen to run the thread on Ozrodders site. Thats cool, but it might be worth keeping up with. :)

dont know if this will work but here goes


Ok then here is the general gist of it. My wife brought it 12 years ago just before we met. We let it go out of rego about 4 years later and it has been sitting since.
The current drive train is 307 turbo 375 ( turbo 400 with a long extension hosing) 68 belair 12bolt rear end and hq disc and calipers up front. Last owner put a sun roof in it and botched it up so I’m tossing up weather to reroof it as I have a clean skin or put a larger moon roof in it out of a tarago or the like any way hear are some pics of it when we got and now

Man I dont understand it.
I checked on the preveiw when I posted and they were fine.
Then I looked at some other posts and came back and they were fine and now they are not working.
I noticed on petrolheads posts on wheel dollies that I could see the picture of them before now its a red X too.
I wonder if this has something to do with Shanes Hosting?
What do I do now?

sorry Ben that type of spot bit are useless the ones that look like end mill bits are the go they're about $45each but are far easier to use and last alot longer (I do a lot of spot drilling and found them the best) I do have a part No but its at the w/shop I will post it tomorrow night Cheers Neil
