Cant wait to see the stripes on her you will have to bring it up ro Richmond this year.

Planning on bringing her to all holden day Craig, those rubber pieces are temporary just to stop the tailgate rubbing while we wait for our rear door handle to be keyed...and rubber seal to be fitted. with regards to rims, yes satin finish as per original, but we will put a clear coat over the top just to stop chipping as much as possible....

Just to add to the comments, well done. Another fine example for your collection.

Two days of non stop sandmaning, and we have pretty much finished....Buffed yesterday, then worked until 6pm on tailgate rubbers, tailgate latches, and bumperettes....today was put on the GTS wheels, which took ages since we couldn't find the stupid lock nut from the Kragers...then once found we got that sorted, put on original NOS mudflaps, spoiler, wipers, and gave it a good clean....oh and Rodney got the original GMH radio to work....

Congrats guys.
Can't wait to see the stripes on it either.
Do you have a pic of the door blackouts (from either van will do), so i can find out where they should line up please?
Thanks

Looks the good guys! Monster effort in getting it ready...

Can't wait to see those stripes!

We must get some photos of the maroon vans together at the van-in. Although yours will put mine to shame. :smile:

Is damo bringing his van? Then we could have all three!

no show for Damo unfortunately - the Trophy Hunter must be running scared of the new van!
