punkoutnz Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Looks mean! Bit of a touch up here and there, some nice wheels and it'll be a mint cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneo Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Nice. OS work vehicles are nice. Any plans to modernism the driveline for daily work duties? It will prob end up being a 1.6 but there are not many vans left around now days so the plans are to just let it slowly age and not to flash for now Tax deductible project car, I like the way you think! My staff think I'm nuts wanting to drive a 35 yr old van and the more I drive the more I like it Looks mean! Bit of a touch up here and there, some nice wheels and it'll be a mint cruiser. It's very relaxed to drive that is for sure cruiser will be what it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2marty Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Pretty sure this was the one that belonged to the guy who busked outside the New Lynn train station. Used to see it there quite often. And those RS 4-spokes look good already.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hey I think we need to race vans May be against my sport at the drags . But the power plant in the van is just to much to hold on to. Where are the photos of you van ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thoughts guys So I was down at the sign writer getting some designs done up on what will suit. 1, Do I white vinyl the rear side windows or?? 2 , Do I tint the whole van ? The sign writing is going to be along the rear arches and on the rear doors we have asked for a vintage look but if anyone has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoutnz Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I guess that's the two looks, personally I prefer the vinyled out windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklm Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I like the look of the two vans above, so I second vinyl out the rear side windows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxnz11 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Practicality of the whole thing id go with tints. Merging lanes, pulling out of awkward exits etc are difficult when you cant see past your shoulder, especially if its going to be used daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
