11 months later the shifter mods are finished  Next is the trans tunnel, let's hope that happens a bit quicker  |

Works good on the bench, let's hope this translates to the car  I had to drop the back end, this should be the final ride height (the car is on axle stands)  |

Update on the Pano, I am Glenn (Stinky's) son Jonas and I am currently working on my Fathers Panel van in hopes of using it as well as the FE Sedan (SIK056) on my P plates.  Since moving house we have done quite a bit to the car in order to get it road ready. We have currently fitted an Aussie 4 speed with an Impala twin shift instead of the Speco which is making its way into the Sedan. We had to make a spacer for the shifter to work, and have bolted a Torana cross member to the trans and plan to weld in outriggers to the frame rails and floor in order to secure the cross member and trans. Whilst doing this i have welded most of the trans tunnel and am waiting on Dad's assistance to complete it. We have also cut out the Panel van floor section and fitted a wagon rear seat with a pair of Capri buckets on BA Falcon rails in the front. This will allow passengers to get into the rear, these seats will be trimmed in a red and black leather combo by Dad. We have also gotten a set of 14x6 (F) and 14x8 (R) Jelly bean mags that we are yet to get tyres for, but are hoping to fit 245's on the rear! Once the car is complete we plan to get it switched over to dedicated LPG so it will be cheaper to run daily, and hope to get the plates SIK059 for the Pano to match the Sedan (SIK056). I am very keen to get the Panel van on the road and drive it daily but unfortunately Dad shows the same amount of enthusiasm and will most likely rip the keys out of my hands for the first drive!  Photos to follow this, hopefully tomorrow night when I get the chance |

Good to see you getting your hands dirty Jonas and that progress has resumed on the van
I am currently doing a panel van with a rear seat in it and am considering putting it back to stock
Probably a long shot but did you guys keep the bits you cut out for the rear seat area?

Gary, I noticed various pieces laying around in the yard so you might still be in luck. I will check where they are and if they are salvageable. |

11 years of ownership I had the side windows filled last year, then put her into storage for a while, back home with the final(?) wheel and tyre combo fitted.  |
