Funny you should mention this Van, we were just talking about it at the monthly club meeting "HELD TONIGHT" and I think a lot of us would like to see the photo's.  :'(

Cheers Jim

how cool!

i'd always imagined an old land rover chassis with 186 conversion a good conversion.

great to see somebody doing it.

PICS!

The photos should be on there way. i have not seen the vehicle myself, my brother took them.

The body is apparently very straight, withe only the firewall being modified.

The owner is paying for a proffessional to do all the work, and it will be a road licenced vehicle.

My brother is a mechanic by trade and said the work quality is extremely high.

(These wheels are only temporary).

Thanks for sharing them Steve.

Could have been worse, could have been an FE Van! ;D

Personally I think it's great, a change of style for once.
Better than rotting away in a paddock somewhere or sitting hidden in someone's garage.

Hi guys,
here's another great overlander. ;D I saw this at a car show in Darwin about 18 months ago and it took all of 30 minutes to sell for about $500.00. Pity there was only a little bit of work still to be to be done :o

I have some updated photos,if someone is willing to post?


Aparently the van was a total wreck, he tried to sell it for 500 dollars, and no one would touch it.

So he had a bright idea???

Send them through to me if you like.

Anyone seen the Darwin Ute since that photo was taken.
Looks like Hilux running gear with  16" spilt rim wheels with 7.00 tyres.

I reckon there is enough old vans around to allow at least a couple of them to end up "Overlanders" cant be any worse than giving one a top chop.
Dont get me wrong . I have nothing against top chops... just drawing a comparison and saying that there is room in this world for Fe/fc vans on 4X4 chassis and Fe/Fc van bodies that have been cut , chopped, tubbed or whatever.
I love em all.

Each to there own, but to me it looks like a Matchbox car or some thing JUST WRONG FC427

[Ed]

The overlander look is way cool I reckon.  I've got many friends with 4x4's and I'd love to get away in an FC 4x4 with them.

Definitely a matchbox look FC427.

Cheers
