SLIMS VAN , FINALLY BLIND.

[slim]

I just finished putting the rear gate on my van , Also just fitted Nasco sunvisor . Here she is BLIND at Last.

[slim]

Heres my  son Dominic and Wife , The sons trying to figure out what happened to the window , hard one to explain

[slim]

It turned out pretty good , but is a death trap to drive , No rear vision at all , minimal side vision also , Just have to carry a passenger with me when I go out

[slim]

Next extras going on are Nasco bonnet Bird , Grille badge , and Door pull to me Handles, All of which Iv already acquired.

Hey Slim, Why don't you get one of those rear vision cameras like they have on some big semi trailers?
Looks good

[slim]

Do NASCO make one !

Mate, surely that doesn't come as a surprise to you?!  With the recent cold snap I've been driving to work in Faecal with the back and side windows completely iced over.  I can't see to change lanes or overtake.  So I've thought about you a few times, deliberately achieving the same effect summer and winter.

It seems to me there is a reason why those blind rear gates are so rare... either the van they were attached to got flattened, or the owner had the sense to get it glazed after a near miss or two. Talk about sacrificing comfort for style

Maybe a set of those natty caravan mirrors (you know, the ones with the frame that goes from under one guard, across the bonnet and back under the other guard) would be the shot

Either that or just leave the lid up when driving...

cheers

HI Slim
Looks good mate. I am agree with RET, your van would look great with a set of those old style mirrors, who cares if they are not NASCO a few stickers here and there and the uneducated would not pick it. They must have been a period accessory for a car like that  .

I can not wait for the pic when you put the bird and grill badge on.

[slim]

I also now got the Thumbprint Dressrims for it Also, Do sedan spats fit on a panelvan , Anyone Know ?

  i've been driving a blind van for years -not quite as collectable as yours;2 features make it a blind van
 1; it's usually so full of crap that ya can't see out the windows-a co pilot is essential
  2;the photos will explain the 2nd reason
it doesnt help the visibility but gives u a little respect on the road       perhaps u could use a similar sign

please dont hang crap on me for buying a van with a blue oval with a four letter f word on  it..we all make mistakes

[slim]

Humour , I like that , Now Thats a BLIND VAN. literally . And me hang crap on someone , No way , I actually owned a F--d once, But Ive seen the light , whereas you my friend are still Blind (lol) So your the BLINDMAN and im the BLINDVAN MAN. Cheers

[slim]

I wasnt going to , But you posted a picture of a f--d on my Panelvan thread , so I figured ya deserved a little bit of Flack (not to much ) . I am a HOLDEN FREAK , and I really hate f--ds. I tried one out , and that was enough for me,  Shitheaps. Ps Welcome Aboard , Im noticing you online heaps , so we had better keep the peace. And I know what you mean about addictive , Im hooked Also.
