Hey there, nothing wrong with a bargain toy! And welcome to the SSVC!
You need to set an account up with the likes of Photobucket and start there!

Thanks for the welcome sooty and the info .Think i got this picture thing sorted now.

For 1.5k that looks like a bargain!

Seconded!

And welcome to the forum, look forward to reading your progress with it.


And photos we like a lot of photos

on closer inspection its not as bad as it looks either. gonna be stock on outside but gonna take running gear out lay it on its chassis rails then re fit further up with bags so get about 6" lift. been offered 2L scobby turbo motor but not sure gonna go down that route

Good luck with the project dude.

I was talking to mark about this the other day! I hope it goes well. Looks solid from what is still there

Laying it out sounds bad ass, but scooby turbo? Heard bad stories about proper cooling issues.

welcome fella looks a good project cheep to start with too

Sean

had good day at volksworld show .some really nice vans with some nice trick stuff. and look what my good lady bought me .

Good luck with the project....looks like you have a bargin at 1.5 - mine cost me double that!

Just a quick question... Is it a Double Door or single?

I will be watching your progress with interest as I'm coming to the paint and build stage of my resto...(See 1965 Panel Project)

hello fritzy its a single door lhd panel .i found it misses paid for it but on the condition i put windows in it for the kids so i am after two pairs of windowed loading bay doors then gonna graft the window frames into long panel side to match doors. dont wont to but its an easy job to remady if i decide to sell it later, and it keeps the peace at home and the cash coming.

ouch, good rust there mate. now I see why you have the front clip....

I would love a project like this, but with a 14mnth old and a 3 month old, I am not allowed into the garage so it ould just sit there!

Nothing more satisfying that building something up exactly how you want it.

good luck, and keep the pics coming.

Tom

Shame you are not keeping it as van but fully understand your reasons, we all need to keep our other-halves on side while playing with our toys

What are your plans...

Are you going to keep the velvet green (?)

Engine upgrade?

Interior...?

Keep the photos coming

Cheers Fritzy
