    Wow, that is ready to return to the earth.

    And here I am worried that with my welding I occasionally leave a pinhole or two...

    I don't know if I like the welding where the rear bar was, or the heat warped lowered roof least.

    Wow... just wow.

    It isn't a higher roof, it is a lower roof at the front. It has been chopped and lowered or a wagon piece has been welded on.

    I'm sure I've seen a pic of a van with the door windows half covered like that one.....or was it a popular thing to do and there were a few of them around like that.

    The above pic is of Invader 2001.... I'd say the Ebay van is someone's poor attempt to copy it....

    That has to be some of the worst bodywork and welding I've ever seen... backyard butcher... she'll be right mate... 8Kg of bog and you'll never know...:errf:

    I remember seeing that van many years ago in magazines, murals were big back then 70's and the 80's. I have a photo I took somewhere of a cool wizard on the side on a cream coloured van at one of the Sydney Motor Shows will have to try and dig it out.
