Ev's 55 & Marks 55 11 window projects.
Hi all it looks as though Im going to be the new owner of a 55 project courtesy of my mate Mark via Shane in newcasle and I cant wait to get it sorted. So my lowlight will be on the market to make way. Ill get some pics up and add info of the plans for both the vans.
And I guess a list of questions Cheers Ev

Yeah its very exciting the last time i had this feeling the project took 5 years im going for 5 months this time. I'm just trying to get a game plan together and source the odds and ends that are missing thats going to be the hard and expensive part. Till I sell my lowlight theres not alot I can do. Im going to start on the inside and fit the new wiring harness and get some paint on the floors and seal up the bear metal sections on the outside then get new window seals and then and then and the and then and then.
Kids helping to clean out the dirt they just love it.
And fitted the cup holder I won at valla
Great cracked paint on the dash
July 55 I think
And nice factory shelf

I got some paint mixed up yesterday for the bulk head and to blend in the rust repairs and they had the paint listed as pigeon blue kind of lost in translation made me laugh.
