What a thing to do to such a rare vehicle......not exactly thousands of these just lying around these days.Probably should have chopped it as well!  ???

[reddo]

I wander if its still running the old ........original... as it came from the factory... dead stock.. ....Grey motor with 3 speed column change ??
or perhaps he has butchered it by fitting a V6 or maybe a V8... what a crime that would be  :P :P :P

Oh .. no ... LOOK :o :o . It hasnt got the original hubcaps on it >:(.

Just where do ya draw the line that says something is customised "tastefully"and what is not "acceptable'  ::) ::) ::)

Geez if the "thought police" where running the RTA here in NSW there wouldnt be too many old Holdens on the road.

A FC van is rare but a FE van is rarer and a FC overlander van is rarer again.

Anyway my uncle has a van slightly raised with 14" wheels, he wreckons its the ultimate machine for ripping around the bush, when it was registered he used to shortcut through paddocks and stuff at a good pace

Personally, I think it's great but let's not start a war of opinions and have someone else leave for a difference of opinion or mis-understanding.

Bottom line is someone saved this from a Simsmetal bin, the restorer's will always call a modified a waste and the modifiers always want to save a car from being restored. For everyone worried about it being a waste, it can always be dropped onto a different chassis that's closer to terra firma or even restored if someone is keen enough.

In the mean time, I say whack on a set of monster tyres and paint it with a gaudy paint scheme!  ;D

Well,let's not turn this into another shitfight.I believe the forum is designed to be a medium for all members and guests to give there OWN opinions on different topics and offer usefull information where it can be offered.I only ever give my opinions as does everyone else and I expect that is how people will interpret them....I guess some people don't see it that way.There is a difference between having an opinion on something or just believing that everyone elses opinions are wrong.Others ,obviously just enjoy starting arguments with no constructive criticism...Maybe I should start every post with "IMHO" or "I wouldn't have done that",just to stop the confusion.Cheers,Jamie. ???

Let's not get too PC guys.
if something looks great you can call it great.
if something looks crap you can call it crap.

just dont start launching into personal attacks.

i reckon the overlander is great, and needs a set of rubber flares and a shovel, jerry can and hi lift jack on the tailgate.  I hope its running a V8 too.

Cheers

i think im converted ;D

  I have just come across this thread and as some people have told me my fe windowless p/van needs to much work. This thread has inspired me to go  with my origanal plan of putting it on my datsun 720 4x4 chassis which has commo v6 & commo 5 speed manual gearbox.
