Ok. Busy day yesterday, I have added pics of what I have done so far. Parts list is growing slowly, small stuff too which isnt so bad. 8 Spots of rust (to quote Blocker, R.U.P.) after removing the roof lining yesterday my first thought was "damn, this is clean" almost no surface rust in the lid, so Im over the moon about that. In the last pic: I found this inscribed in the drivers side pillar...bit of history there, anyone else ever found this on their builds? That, and probably squashed 100 very sick spiders, they are the ones I have seen, some massive red backs and white tails!

looks like the rust monster took a dump all over it but it actually seems to be pretty solid under all that
looks like you might of lucked out there

[Rico]

yeah it is fairly solid and staright. Gotta be happy with that!

[HZ EVIE]

All that matters is that your happy Rico and by your enthusiasm I'd say you are.
Enjoy it!!

[Rico]

Thanx Evie, it aint no XX7 like yours is..but its spec in its own way.

[HZ EVIE]

Doesn't need an XX7 to be a bloody lot of fun and as long as you enjoy it, who cares.

By the amount of effort your putting into it already, she'll look a million dollars.

[Rico]

I hope so, I just wanna drive it!!!! Lol if the motor and drive line are good, Ill just work around them, they can be fixed up later, just want to stop the tinworm really.

What gearbox is in it? That's a funny looking shifter.

Mate,thats going to be alright,im in the same boat,just bought a wb van 6mths ago,needing attention,going to take my time doing her up,go the wb vans!

[Rico]

Play, not a 100% sure really, maybe a later model (VK/VL) comm box? Oz would be the one to ask most likely.

Robbo, Go the WB mate fer sure! we may not have XX7/XU3 on the plates but we have the last vans made!!!
