Well spotted Splitrat - had a bit of trouble matching the M codes for those

Thanks David - the ute hasn't progressed except for collecting parts.

With the new edition it will be on the backburner for the time being - I will still keep it and continue to gather all the bits I need.

Sounds like a good plan, the new bus would definitely be a priority with me too.

Mate, my dream is to one day own a 15 Window and with the kids no wonder your going the 9-seater(?) over the 3 seater.

Another 15 window ay, You have the most sought after model in Aus can't be more than a handful around.
Do you know the year model?
I noticed it already has the lipped rear wheel arch so must be just before the change to 13 windows.
Does it have belly pans?
Sorry to be a pain.

No belly pans!.....so I wonder what the go is there.....Muller help for answers.
All others I''ve seen have pans exept the one sketty has imported from the states.
Unusual but who cares.

Frogsta - I have also noticed some deluxes have 8 vents and others have 9 - do you know why this is? Thanks...

I didn't think 15 windows needed belly pans, seeing as they don't have a sunroof.

Cool looking bus there too mate!

If a 15 was part of the import program it wouldnt have belly pans. I thought only Aussie produced 15s had them no?
