Very nice van Boalsie. If you are happy with the stripes I'd leave it, in addition to the windows gives your car a unique look. I've got a HT monaro that was painted (before I got it) with HG style blackouts, but although I'll repaint it to original one day I just love the way it looks in the meantime.

On the topic of your stripes (and not being critical), I think you'll find that side ones over the rear wheels are in fact reversed on your car ie left side is the right and vise versa)

What's the difference? I'm about to have the stripes put on my HJ and I don't want to get it wrong. I've noticed that the stripes for the 1/4 panels ( for want of a better description) seem blunt/fatter at one end and streamlined/skinny/more pointed at the other. Which way around is correct?

[boalsie]

i cant help you whith that !! jason would be able to but ! he makes the stickers! im just lucky i didnt put them on upside down!! haha !! cheers boalsie

[Sandaro]

The "fatter" end is towards the front, with the skinnier side at the back. Same as the guards and door ones (which obviously can't be confused being in 2 distinct halves)

Thanks for that. I suspected that was the right way around.

Great old shot. You'd think it would be a high chance its the same van, I've never seen another with those style windows. When did you sell it? and what state?

[Jim246]

I was the second owner ,bought it in carnarvon wa 1978 and sold it in perth 1982 to a car yard, so i have no idea what append to it after that. Never seen another one with the port hole windows.
