This vehicle is no longer available ..
Cheers Fred

G'day all .
I've come to the conclusion that I will not get to do this vehicle for a long time as in a line up of others ..
FC Panel I bought a few years back . Needs all outriggers underneath doing . Sills have one outer to go with it . some floor pan action have a set of new ones ,roof and sides seem good , front frame in good nic with only a little rust .Hr front end , set of Torana disc brake and spindles to suit front end .. I bought it as a complete car running . Has a good 186 with it gear box is some auto that's shagged .. I also have spare set of guards , set of front doors, and bonnet to go with it ..
I have the car on a rotisserie at the moment so it be a pick your to get it , rotisserie does not come with sale ..
This car owes about 5k when I got it home and about 1k in the other parts I have .. As we know Vans are getting hard to get so to me 6k seem's fair ..

Will have some soon pics up soon ..

That sounds great Jim .. Don't worry about the pics mate I'll take your word for it .. Don't rush yourself , when you get a chance to cut them out that would be great .. You work out what your times worth and what they are worth to you and let me know mate .. I have some friends down in Newie  they might be heading up this way in a couple of weeks so may be able to pick them up off you , if not will work out a way to get them up here to Coffs harbour , should be a problem   
Cheers Fred

Cheers Fellas ..

Cheers for the input fellas . That would be great if you could do that Jim , might get lucky . Checked a set on a rusty wagon the other week at my mates place , they were way worse then mine though , never mind ..

Cheers Rob .. Will look it up mate ..

Me again .. Has anyone had the pleasure of having to reconstruct these sections , such a work of art they are mine are going to have to be replaced which doesn't faze me to much just wanting to get others opinions if they have done this before .. Would I be be better to find someone wrecking a vehicle and have them cut out and near ready to go ?
Cheers Fred.

Cool mate , no windows only way to go .. Plan on cutting all the rust and replacing with new steel , have a HR front end have done the out rigger , have a set of old school spindles for Torana discs which I have set of now . Will be doing the old girl in a flat brown or something a bit ratty .. can always paint it properly later ..As for the donk it came with a really good running 186 but i'm in the thinking of a diesel turbo 4 , don't shoot everyone Modern technology seems to be the way to go now days , some of these turbo 4s crack and are so much better on fuel consumption as well. Anyway we'll see what happens ..

Cheers fink man .. Xl pano sweet , windows or windowless ? Yeah mate going to give my cars a good crack while I have the energy . Just hope the meds i'm about to partake in don't drag me down , but i'm positive so we'll see . Hey if they do at least I'll have Cool cars to sit and look at .. Happy Days 

Wow , that's pretty wild the way they constructed cars back then , Cheers for the pics Ken .. Not a bad idea fink man . Have a mate who owns a Rod shop up this way , might have a yarn to him about that idea and see whether it's possible to knock something up ..

Great Stuff Clay and Ken .. Good info all round will help no end in the reconstruction of the Pano .. Moving it and my Xk Pano to my house from the farm this weekend so then I can get stuck into it in between everything else I have to do That seam had me rattled for a bit there as my van only had channels in place of the original sill .. If it's not to much trouble Ken a couple of pics would be much appreciated .. The more I have to guide me the better ..
Cheers Fred

Cheers Fellas .. Yes there's a bit to do so we'll see .. The pic I'm attaching here shows the seam I was talking about , between the door and the wheel arch . Can anyone tell me how the top panel meets the sill . Does it shape in with a lip like the top of the sills then spot weld in ?? Some sort of answer would be great , can someone help please .By the way , how nice is this Pano ? Cheers Fred.

Cheers Alex , much appreciated .. Good write up ..

That would be great Greg if you could mate .. Don't want to take up to of anyones time but if you could flick some pics my way , would much appreciated .
Cheers FRED   

What does no body have anything to add to this thread . Some links reads to build threads or something would be good .. And the advice on the rear seam wouldn't be bad either ..

G'day all..
I 'm getting closer to getting into the rust in my Pano .. I've been working away a lot over the years and not had much time .. I have 4 cars of different makes on the go . Well i'm home now on a more permanent basis due to dumbass cancer , but hey i'm feeling great for now and i'm positive , so no pity please  , so it's time to get the enjoyable things in life cracking .. I've been through plenty of build threads on here over the time and pretty well think I have the procedure in my head but wouldn't mind pics or links to build  threads in this area of the vehicle swung this way as I didn't bookmark back then , silly me . One question , the seam from the back of the front door to the rear wheel arch between the body where it meets the sill  does it have a bend like the sill and they butt together ?? .. Pics would be good if anyone has done this repair .. I have to do the A and B lower pillars as well , will be leaving the doors on for line up purposes  .. I've attached pics of said area so you can get an idea of what i'm doing .. I plan to brace the van internally with box tubing and mount the old crusty girl on a rotisserie .. Any info would be much appreciated .. Pics of said van are attached so use can all see what i'm in for ..
Cheers Fred..
