That was then,,this is now

I was going through some old pictures looking for my first van way back in 84 and come across this. would love that car back again. sold it for a famiily sedan

wow that was then. 1984



And this is now. 2009 with the new beastie.(looks like i ate that kid)

Na, he repeats on me sometimes though

thats a great picture,

Thats Funny

i was going to make a smart a*se comment asking whether you still had the hair.... until i scrolled down and noticed that you do

he still has the floppy mirrors on both vans.

Sad as it is thats still my hair, and the Floppy mirrors was something that i always did when i owned a holden. cant say much about the floppy guts though, dont remember having that

Hey, i was just looking at the young bloke in the first picture, that i dont remember being, and realized i was wearing the ever popular DEMTEL, RAY MARTIN PLASTIC HAIR PIECE in assorted colours..... good golly

somebody shouldve told me..

Anybody out there have similar photos of themselves and there vans way back then compared to now?

OMG that hair

You could use that pic as your avatar.

good pics to see and have a laugh! This takes guts... in more ways than one there's more guts here posting your old pics for all to see...

Not a van I know but the HZ is my first van. LX SLR Torana 1987 and then the HZ from last year when we bought it in Perth.

Jeans might be a bit tighter back then but even the stance is the same....Scary

Started with my brand new HX Sandman then took a side track down several different Holdens including my 454 HQ Monaro and now back to a good old Sandman again.
