Wow!!

Good one Nicko.

But, the famous question, WHERE IS IT NOW?

There is so much work gone into this thing you would think it wasn't just sent to the tip, or was it?

KEEP THEM COMING  

Cheers,

Bad news fellas.
That van is dead!! The fella who owned it did the show curcuit for a long while. As the car became less show like, he started using it on more of a daily basis. Problem was, the Police nabbed him for everything, everytime. In the end, it was stripped for a rebuild, the the parts got sold off & the bdy cut up. I did not see this myself, but as you can imagine, it was a well known van down here & I have spoken to older Rodders & they all know the story.

RIP FC

another waste, after living in Tas for nearly a year in the early 90's i can understand his problem as the Tas cops i came into contact with were a bunch of ar*eholes who left you in no doubt as to why they are called pigs, in other states you usually have to do something wrong to attract there attention,but in Tasmania you just have to drive something out of the ordinary.
anyway i am keeping my thumbs crossed that someone will have a copy of that Custom Van and Trucks mag for some better pics and details

Nicko,

You've missed the reason why the cops in Tassie are so observant - it's those extra set of eyes they have fitted to their second head. You know, the one they inherited when their brother's, mother's sister's uncle had sex with their cousin's sister's next door neighbour who happened to be their aunty.  

Woops sorry Rob J  

Sad to hear about the van, it looked like a trick bit of gear.

Cheers,

Craig.
