Angus_257 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 this is my 1981 KE70 panelvan, bought for nearly nothing off an elderly man. had no modifications apart from a crappy immobilizer that eventually shit itself in the middle of nowhere with only a screwdriver and a pair of pliers to bypass it... also it got defected about a week before the rego ran out, but its all been fixed awaiting a vehicle inspection. this is a photo of what it originally looked like just with black stockys have since done only visual mods (just until it passes inspection {if it passes inspection haha}) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_257 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Probably took me and a mate 2 months of doing a couple hours every night, he's an apprentice spray painter which was handy, especially being able to use their workshop and booth. Would have had it done in a week if the workshop had lights haha so we could only work till night and head home. I plan to do the suspension/ steering, 4age conversion and new seats dash etc. But being a first year apprentice makes funds a little slow haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not a fan of HIDs after my last ones got me defected. I bought a relay loom from the states and the brightest xenon bulbs you can get. Just as good as HIDs except legal and you don't blind other motorists. I'd love to throw my white MA61's on this and see how it would look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Remember PlastiDip is porous and brake dust sticks to it hard out That's why you usually only see black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
