WTB: HZ Panelvan

I'm 99% sure that van is an ex Newcastle one.
I remember seeing one EXACTLY like it about 2 year ago at Glendale.
Little windows in tailgate aren't very common.

hey guys in that pic you see below look at the seam and then the far left of it.. is that a crack of some sort in the metal?

ohh and HK cheers for the check list :D :D

I'd say that's bog. It is an area prone to rust.
The line in the join shouldn't drop down like that either.

hmm judging on that it might be an expensive job for rust repair but ill save a 1000 or so for that? could always maybe graft something in if its real bad

assuming the bog ends pretty much where the line goes back to normal

Yes looks like an old bog repair. If rust is not repaired there correctly be aware of other areas also.

Something else to note. The Commodore Rims. Unless they have got the stuf pattern changes to suit them I would sugest removing them and replacing all wheel studs.

Commie pattern is very close to HQ-WB. But not exact. Using commie rims on a HQ-WB does bolt up. But in doing so you bend the wheel studs. This can cause them to break. Not a good thing when you cruzing down the highway and hit a bump and a front wheel comes off....

Never assume when it comes to bog.

Second that, my 'little bit in the door jam' that was smoothing out the metal fold lines turned into an inch thick over the entire rear quarter.

Plus something will be causing the bog to crack and shift, my guess would be steel expanding as it rusts.

our yellow van had been smashed in one of the quarter panels you would not have known until it was soda blasted, there was bog right up the side just below the crease in the rear quarterpanel...thankfully Adam our panel beater was able to straighten up with minimal bog, but at maximum cost (hours taken)
