corollavan

Thanks for the advice, I will try and post some pics over the weekend and figure out when I can get to Orange if I can't source stuff around Sydney

I have just joined the rolla club site. I have a KE70 flatfront panelvan that I have had for years. When I first got it I redid the interior, put dragways on and generally tidied it up. It has never let me down but it has been a bit neglected recently and I want to fix as much as possible to keep it on the road and in rego. I am in a rental property so I cannot do the strip down and full resto it deserves. The motor, brakes, clutch are all still ok. The issues I have are - rust in the doors, bonnet and roof, the window winder mechanisms have seized, the hinges are sagging and currently the thing only working on the dash is the clock. As a van the doors are longer than the wagons and sedans so are hard to come by and the dash is slightly different so the clusters I have found in wreckers in the past do not seem to fit. I have recently moved from qld to nsw so the rego requirements are important. The help I was looking for was - good rust repairer in Sydney area - replacement doors if possible (also would be nice to get new bonnet, grill and headlight surrounds) - ideas for the guages - repair, resto or possible upgrade to digital if this is even possible?? I have found the discussions about Cowra and Orange wreckers so will be planning a trip asap. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
