TAILTENTS TO BE REMANUFACTURED..

just to give all a heads up.......TAILTENTS ARE GOING TO BE REPRODUCED...a new old stock sample has been purchased and will be used to repro the tailtents...these should be right to go later this year....they will be as per original right down to the holden logo as permission to use has been granted.... you can contact me on 0249594546 to put your name down if you are interested...cheers greg

good one... guestimate available on pricing? Different colours available or only one colour, i.e. can you match the colour of your van?

I'd be interested in a cost as well thanks Greg.

colours will be as per original which is blue/red or red/blue....cost will be around the $450 mark....we just fitted up the tailtent which will be used as a sample and i took pictures on my van..will post them up later..

Cool, count me in for one.

looking forward to seeing one, hmmmmm air con, 253 or tail tent geez greg u make it hard

being fussy like you are wal you should be looking for a donor car to get the 253 and air from...you got gas so its not needing a blue just go red.......hj hx or hz...even hq but some of your air stuff will be different...you will have plenty of time to save for the tailtent as the process for the hatch hutch which he has already done has been around 9 months and its still not quite ready to be realeased...this guy is really fussy as to the quality of his reproduced products....heres some pics of the original item which is the donor for the repro..taken yesterday on my old wb van which is now being wrecked...

Thanks for that oz, yeah im fussy but has it ever been a problem?, i agree on donor and a mate has said same thing today funny enough, what about a wb statesman theres loads of them about and they have a 308 too hmm

Anyway how many of these tents you going to make anyway

wal

wal...fussy is fine and has never been a problem.. ...im not doin the tailtents..i knew he was looking for 1 and came across it..he will be doing at least a few hundred,but once they are done if they run out he can do more....not a limited run that i know of...
wb statesmans are plentiful but usually have rooted motors and many are already bored to 60thou as against 253 early cars are usually decent motors and if they are sad are standard to 30 thou in my experiences...

Looking good. I'm in the same boat as wal - but I've got the air con - even though it's for the 6 which is what Beigy currently is. I'm on the lookout for an 8, but in no hurry. Need to do lots of stuff, i.e. convert Beigy to an 8, 4 or 5 speed on the floor but keeping the bench, do the interior and ultimately give him a respray.... also need to do work on the house & yard.... oh where do I start??? guess i'll be driving taxis for a while yet..... though am going to do my HR licence so i can drive coaches on weekends which is better money, but then i won't have the time to do it all.... cheque book restorer.... here i come.....

how exitementness... nice work.

maz same boat as me house and yard come before van but my little 4 month old hes takes first place we r in no hurry he just wants it finshed so he can go crusing hence the tent too,

...u sayin the 4 month old is in no hurry???? guess he's got, what, 15 - 16 years? hehehehehe, it's ok, we'll all get there in the end.... it'll make us appreciate it all the more....
