Man I fucking love these things, no idea why but I pine so hard for them over the more popular escort vans. 

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.

Wow surprised how much framework is actually in the Holden vans. Had a good lol at your writing too :-D

Whats the hz like in the rain? Wet feet from plenum?

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

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 :P

I'm guessing some blokes got laid off at Todd motors Mitsubishi line and went to the Holden department?

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

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
