Wow, that's a better response than I thought I'd get! I was expecting a bit of flack for butchering a cool van, but they were a dime a dozen then and I wanted something different. I was only 18 and trying to play with the "big boys" like Chris Cummings and John Strachan, so a stock bodied HK wasn't going to get a look-in, let alone win a trophy.

Yep, that's Stingray badge on the bonnet, a tribute to where the motor came from. Still got the badge on my badge wall with a lot of cool others. "Corvette Summer" was the big film at the Drive-In's, so I was going to put that badge on regardless of what anyone thought!

I wonder where it is now.....?
