Sounds crazy but i would be up for driving through a picket fence :D

All the work done on the van was a collaborative effort and a massive thank you must go out to Loretta and Graham in carrum downs, and without their help and assistance (And all night work) we would never have finished it in time. They allowed us the use of their garage and all facilities including their time to make sure the van was finished. They both stayed up till all hours of the day and night/morning with us and still had to work the next day!!!

We cant thank you enough and I'm sure all of the people associated with the reunion would applaud the effort to ensure that the day was made even better with another piece of the mad max puzzle arriving.

We can all attest to the fact that the world is made a better place with truly good friends.

A huge thank you to my other half Anabel For making things a lot smoother through the build. She was sanding, cutting, grinding, welding right along side me every step of the way and still managed to keep the house in order and the two kids :D

Beside every man is a greater woman!

Cheers,

Troy

Your Van is great! Finally somthing new! Ya Ya i have a bOb but finally somthing else to look at! Its about time too. The irony that the van came before the Night riders Holden!! LOL If i had the money i would build the Night riders Monaro in a heartbeat! Think about it why the yellow car? I would rather have to two BadASS cars of the fleet instead! They were the best, just the Night rider wasent the better driver!

We loved every minute there. All the people involved were fantastic and I take my hat off to all the people who have built the replica's. The fan's there were great and seeing them happy made all the effort worth while.

Indeed we will :)

All other items needed to finish the van have been purchased so it's just a question of time now. We have been moving 2 houses into one so time has been stretched for us.

Will post photos (Inside and outside) once we are finished....plus some more progress shots.

Cheers :D

What other items are needed? It looked great in the shots from the Little River event. Looked like it was just missing the mural on the driver's side.
