Hi Mate,

Thanks :) I think it's pretty tough!

I actually got the chin lip from someone on this site, 2nd hand but never been fitted... so I can't really help sorry...

My mate picked one up not too long ago from Ebay America maybe?

Sorry I can't help more... Dave.

Looks good mate. ;)

 

Josh :cool:

Wow, this van is dope! Loving the front lip and rim choice mate!

its pretty alright....for a ke26 panelvan :laff:

 

not that I'm jealous, but it would be cooler with 2 more doors and some more glass :lolcry:

 

love this rig man !!

 

cheers, scott

I thought you weren't gonna put a thread up lol. You already know I love your panno mate

Haha, the wife went away for a week and i had time up my sleeve ;)

Thanks Scott... I love my 2 door Panno.

 

I can't wait to pull it to bits and do the body properly... :D

Any updates on the panno? looking for some inspiration to start mine XD

Hi Ben,

Not much happening to the Panno really... Just collecting parts.

I still haven't given her a proper respray but I've managed to purchase a NOS dash pad, a NOS gear knob, NOS scuff plates, also got a TE27 Trueno Tacho dash, and TE27 Trueno centre gauge cluster.

What's yours like?

I love KE26 2 doors! They're so awesome!!!

I'm taking mine in a motorkhana next weekend, it will be nice to have a squirt in it.

very comforting to know this 2 door is still around.

 

Cheers, Scott

Hey mate, just wondering do they come factory with the rear 2 windows blocked out?

 

I know they do for KE70 wagons, what about ke26?

been a couple years, any updates?
