I love this thing! Followed its build on the oldholdens site for a long time.

Was speaking to a member from this forum who told me that he had acquired the front sheet metal from this. Looks like he was telling porkies!

From memory Andrew DID change the front sheetmetal on this car at one stage ??????
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

By the look of the last photo, is that Andrew still working on the van?.
I was also following Streetneats progress on the Old Holden site as well, he also restored and modified lots of vehicles on that site.

Hi team, thanks for the positive comments,
A couple of things, the front sheet metal is not
the original, Andrew said it was changed a few times
over the years.and the grey haired dude is
my mate goose he will be painting the van.
Over the next few months all running gear and sub frame
will be removed and re done to a high standard. Will get
back into it in a couple of weeks and will post progress pics.
Cheers
Clint
