That van looks pretty rust free after it has been soda blasted, there would be a lot of forum members interested in the tags.....good luck with your resto...
@adam: It will be Palais White with DY2 stripes.
@jennie: It's falling apart in the back quarters, I will get photos next time I'm at the panel beaters. I'm having GTS flutes welded in and the back windows welded shut, everything else is repair work.
Good Luck with the rebuild mate.White is a cool colour!
Hey all,
As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm not very good at keeping the post up to date. I tend to just post heaps in one go, as I'm about to do. Anyway, back to the topic.
Do all panel beaters take forever?? Because it's still in a panel beaters shed, almost 12 months later. Here are some photos.
The flutes welded in.
Windows welded shut.
Rims painted, this photo doesn't do them justice.
The drivers side is basically finished.
From windows to windowless, looks far better now. The only things left to do are: Bonnet, top half of the tailgate, nose cone, finish off passenger side windows and door. Then it gets painted and I have to start doing work on it again. As always, thanks for looking.

I'd reconsider the HX/HZ stripes on a HQ. HQ's look way better with HQ stripes.
Have you any more detail photos of welding the windows up. Did you put a curve in the steel. Did you butt weld or over lap the joins ? How bad wa the distortion. Really very interested in this subject.
Thanks for sharing.
cheers

Yeah ditto that. That a great job on the windowless conversion!
