ae824ate - cheers man. I love wagons and pvans! such a practical car to own so they deserve the love :D haha.

 

john84ie - got the lense from a Toyota parts dealer/workshop. only the LHS. i also got a LHS tail light from them too just for a spare.

 

Yummymicky : cheers man.

 

Myke90 - It's awesome to come home to fresh parts lol! helps me get through the day hahaha!

 

I have made some progress on the rims. refacing the lips and paint stripper on the centers this arvo.

BTW your wagon is looking sick! so jealous your paint is done already. what are the specs on your rear wheels/tyres? they look chunky :D

Other thing with a pano, i can't fit 2 baby seats in it lol, our 2nd is on the way. Apart from that, yeah they are great. My old man and i used to own a white Dato 120y pano, affectionatly named "The Milkbottle". Great fun to cruise around in! Your painter given you a rough time frame yet? Cheers.

I t was actually a wagon without the back seat lol :P

I was gonna to say i didn't know they made 120y vans. I'd be tempted to own one! hehe.

 

Only need two seats in a car. (me + lady friend) Also having the van means i never have to drive my pissed mates into the city! WIN!

 

Painter is saying before xmas but I'm not holding my breathe. :( fingers crossed though!

Update: Long story, but the van hasn't been painted yet :( I'm aiming to have it done by the end of Jan. (2011 :P )

 

Ive been doing the panel prepping myself :) Today i painted the inside of my blue tailgate. (i welded in the holes for the wiper arm,washer jet and badge holes) Also managed to paint the door jams, top of the doors (interior) and the rear cargo area around the seal and latch.
