Default EL panel van??!!

Check this out.

Spotted it tonight on the way into geelong, nice looking car, i assume it started its life off as a wagon. Its got an EL front, and was being driven by an older dude.

Nice looking ride. Wonder what work is involved in it.

it was at the last mill markets meet.... certainly looked the part

definatley started off as a wagon..... looks to have been done fairly well too..


2 door panneled in wagons are classed as a "delivery", rather than a panno (no high roof)

A mate & I used to use a Black XF ex-hearse as a "Band Car" with LTD front & tail lights (extended of course , Lol) heaps of room . You should have seen the looks we got when we pulled up outside some of the clubs : . One of the local Muso's refused to ride in it . : . (will have to find the pics).

This one (above) looks absolutely Awsome .
