Yeah isn't it a great job,he's only a young bloke to,he's a metal fabricator.AFAIK the mods are peeked tail light surrounds,peeked headlight surrounds,slanted B pillar (like the Chevy Nomads),2 doored,custom grille (I think).There's pics of him building it some where if I find em I'll whack em up.he took the whole roof off to do it

I've been checking this thread occasionally and you guys inspired me to get one of my toys on the road.




Just registered for the first time since the early 90s.

Nice work, thumbs up

The wagon in that model was probably my favourite Val wagon

Good one down at longy recently, wish I was a bit quicker with a pic.

I just had a better look, that's longy

Hey, you don't own a white wagon too do ya

No, I don't have a wagon but I there is one on the wish list !!Maybe a AP or VC

Ive got a S series but its been off the road for about 6 years. It's having total rebuild. Still a few years to go??
The S series used to spend a lot of time at Longy when I was driving it.

The VE was a spur of the moment thing 4 years ago. It was a very original car, one owner and had spent 20 years in a dry shed after he stopped driving it. No serious rust and It started first turn of the key so I couldn't resist!!!
gave her a quick tidy up and paint recently and she's ready to go
