1974 HQ Belmont Panelvan.

[Daveman]

Hello

This is my 1974 HQ Belmont Van I've just restored. My father used it as a work car for around 25 years
and recently retired so I thought i'd give it another burst of life. It was pretty much rust free except
for the floors being changed around 10 years ago due to a leaky heater, but there wasn't a straight
panel on it.

It's been through 2 engines, and quite a few clutches and axles. Would probably have
close to a million klm's on the clock. The colour is Autumn Gold.

During the restoration i used as many new old stock items i could get my hands on or did my best to
restore what was there. I'm now on the lookout for an FB/EK ute.

Model: HQ80170
Body No. 107715-A
Trim: 1875-30 A
Paint: 568-15825
Engine: L20































This is my daily driver. Lowered 97 Calais.



Thanks for looking, Dave

It just didn't look right without it. Probably because I've always known it with one.

Awesome job, makes life so much easier to start with a rust free car.

Bet the old man is stoked and probably wishing he had done it

Autumn Gold is a great colour

thanks for that, you have 1 too many numbers in the Production Serial Number is it L270500Q or L270050 chassis should be around EHQ460xxQ and the original engine no QL500xxx

I have a 1 tonner recorded that went down the line 15 after yours, if your PSN is L270500
