bought myself another van...

the wb i had was too rusty so i sold her off to someone who wanted to do the work on her....just picked up a hq windowless that doesnt need body or paint just needs running gear and some trim work...nice easy stuff to do...will post a pic or 2 later..

easier to post this link from ebay...the pictures do not do this van justice.... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150364782594&viewitem=&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching&salenotsupported
