Hello members and big thankyou for your replies and your help with my van. It is near original apart for missing its roof. The chassis and engine numbers are correct I have driven it for 20 years and have kept it stock standard except for install prepollution inlet manifold and quadrajet Rochester. Is it too soon to ask the hard question? Could I should I replace the turret? I have a good HJ commercial van body in the shed that I have kept with intention to fit to the HZ and unemasculate my van. The original turret conversion was carefully done the A Pillar and door frame intact, I can see the factory Windsor Blue paint showing under the burgundy respray. My thinking is the unpick the turret from the HJ prepare it ready to go back on the HZ before I lay a tool on my HZ. I am old fella with basic tools but plenty of time now the girls have grown up. Is this feasible a feasible idea has it been done successfully? Since I'm real new is it OK to post a few pics of my prude and joy done here in the southern land. Bloody freezing today snow came down the mountain.
