ek windowless van 2106

Post by col60fb »

g'day,
i just bought a ek genuine windowless van, it was an-ex street / show car. so someone may know of it ?. i'll be posting pic's of the beast tomorrow avro as i just finished getting it home.
spec's are; 202red,
5speed celica box,
xu-1 lsd,
13x7 colour coded 5spoke thrust wheel's (dragway type),
nasco scatch plates,
heater,
window washer bottle set-up,
rare folding rear seat fitted,
rare speaker grill gauge holder and gauge's,
lower spring's sway bar's etc,
electric window's and custom fitted inner door handle's (jap),
and a blank steering column but eh wheel on it,
polished stained rear floor board but a little worn,
toyota red mica metallic paint but faded and stone chipped,
i know the pic's will help but does this car sound familiar to anyone it was running around newcastle/sydney between 1999/2001 until it was stored away in 2001.
