    Honestly my 16-21 ish years was simular. Loaded up the HZ Sandman ute with camping gear and dirtbike and we to a race. Or went camping at the local sand dunes and surf beaches... This was just before the major release of mobile phones. These days to do the same you take your mobile also. and the rest of the world comes along on facebook with you haha!

    I like the look of the White HJ stripes on it, they are more subtle than the lairy HZ stripes. HZ stripes on a unmodified van look ok, on a modified van it is too much going on for me. I like Jason's idea of custom stripes..... I reckon ghost flames would look great in a lighter and darker blue, maybe a dusting of white to accentuate them a little.

    The only REAL problem I have with side pipes, is that the make the van look unbalanced.
    Because the stop before the wheels and hang down low, it appears that the rear quarter is way out of proportion.
    Probably just me though.

    70's was the best of all for me, women, van's, ute's, drive in's, as well as all the gt falcon's and torana's that you only see at show's now. The 80's was about settling down and getting married and driving a station wagon.
