Lots of lookers today at the central coast holden trophy day today, all seemed to like it.
              Cheers Glenn

Hi Glenn - without stating the bleedin' obvious, what's there not to like about a windowless FE van!  ::) ;D  Looks very nice and I'm sure you'll get plenty more enjoyment from it. Oh, yeah and the number plate position looks much better!  ;) :D Cheers

And Kathi's not the slightest bit prejudiced either...   ;) ;) ;)

(even so, I know at least one FC sedan driver that wholeheartedly agrees with her on this one)

top job, Glenn!  8) 8) 8)

[GM]

Great weekend, (everyone liked the car Kathi)

[NosFEratu]

and you doubted that they would?  ??? ???  ;D

[GM]

Never a doubt. Everywhere I take it they love it. The most comment is "these must be rare now"

Glenn van looks fantastic. Great job. What rims and tryes are you running?

Wheels are dragway. Tyres 225/50/16 rear 205/45/16 front.
                    Cheers Glenn

[mcl1959]

The rims are not traditional dragway wheels though are they - I think from memory they are a Commodore pattern rim called dragway which imitates the old style dragway rim.
I'm not 100% sure about my memory because it's a while since I saw the van.

Is that right Glenn?

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

I always thought they were Dragway billet wheels  ???

[GM]

Yes, they are dragway billets, not the older style dragways.


                 Cheers, Glenn

What sort of front end are you running? brakes hubs etc

[EffCee]

Glenn,

I have had a rethink after seeing more photo's of your car, I wouldn't want to see it in the flesh, I would be dribbling all over it and I would hate to make a mess of that lovely paintwork. (Maybe if I wear a bib?)

That car looks superb, all jokes aside, i can't wait to see it.

Hi, it,s a hr frontend with a c.r.s. conversion kit. (front mounted rack with a crap turning circle) Hopper stopper adaptor kit for vt rotors and calipers. These were already fitted. (Jason may correct any mistakes I may have made) Hope this helps.
                            Cheers Glenn

[ubeuty]

That is the same front end I have and I thought it would have a shit turning once I fitted it, what about that other front end by I think v6 conversions might make it better. Might email Hoppers for price on VT bits as already have rotors and calipers.

[GM]

V6 conversions have a really good front end if you have a lazy $5k. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing with mine, you do get used to it.
                          Cheers Glenn

[GM]

Some more pics of the van. This is the last of the paint and bodywork getting done at the moment, end result will be a full respray.







Poor thing looks ugly.
Cheers Glenn

[NosFEratu]

ok so dumb question here - and I know and appreciate full well that photos can be very misleading (and I wish we could get our van's paint and body re-done too :-\)  but what was actually wrong with the paint?  Or was it just time for a freshen up?
