Apparently there's another one in matamata, hence beginning a south waikato vs piako district Marina van rivalry, which I have the upper hand in as only I know about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfashark Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Saw a green Marina van in Matamata the other day, pretty tidy condition - Complete with NZ Motor Company sticker on one of the rear windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be getting wet feet from the plenum, I spent too many $$ at a panel beaters getting the wiper cowling /plenum fixed when I owned it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doullama Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Tis quite a bit aye, bit stronger (prior to rust-out) than some early car-based commercials for sure. Just a pity rust-repair panels arent really available for anything van-specific. Tom had the plenum replaced but still needs a bit of weather-tightening, after waterblasting I had to literally bail out the interior haha! lots of water getting into & pooling in the bottom of both A-pillars, which then overflows onto floor. unsure how/why thus far, tbh that's quite a way down the list 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'm guessing some blokes got laid off at Todd motors Mitsubishi line and went to the Holden department? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And started on a Friday no doubt. At least a van has reasonably simple lines and good access to everything, I imagine a rusty Car equivalent would be far more nightmarish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Looks like the steel to rust ratio is improving mate! I'll come and drink coffee/sharn if you're about over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doullama Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'm certainly hoping the end is in sight! very much looking forward to getting the rust work out of the way so i can get back to regular bodging, sheds too full of flammable junk to weld in there and its cold outside! Sure thing, i'll be the sucker lying in the driveway haha distractions most welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
