Pre 1997 panel van needed for film work

hi i'm working on a low budget feature film shooting in melbourne over december.
we are looking for a pre 97 panel van to feature in the film.
it features only briefly and is not required to be driven (other than to and from the shooting location).
in the script the interior of the van is spray painted in a punk/rock/biker sort of theme, which is revealed from the point of view of our starlet whilst in the act of conceiving her child. it sort of sets up the character of her (and her son) right at the beginning of the movie.


i would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide in sourcing a vehicle that might fit the bill.
a decent panel van which is somehow 'pimped out' in the back, or maybe a project vehicle who's owner wouldn't mind us graffitting the rear ceiling? we could always paint it back for them.


we're pretty flexible really, although it just wouldn't be the same if it weren't a panel van.
i don't wanna mislead anyone: i've only got a couple of hundred dollars to spend on the scene.


i can't name the actress involved, but the film is called 'surviving georgia' and is by the same makers of IF award winning australian film 'caterpillar wish'. it should do pretty well.
do you think any of your members would be interested in helping me out?

Here I sit on location, had to rip out the seats to fit the camera rig...

The airbrushed chicks n bikes are on the roof....... now we wait.....

Now to make you all jealous..... HOLLY VALANCE is the lassie who get to ride the Bumpy mattress...

So much for Graffiti, this is what they wanted, was quickly knocked out by John from JAB Airbrushing in Melbourne.
Some dis-assembly was required to get the camera rig in for the important shots.
But, It was worth it to have Holly Valance grace the back of my van!

Good stuff mate...

Less shots of your van and more shots of Holly please

here, here. come on John we are waiting.

Wasn't allowed to take pictures of the cast, contract bullshit etc etc......

But got these:

Even on their website now, whoo hoo!

No wonder you can't sleep with that air brush work on the roof of your van.

I wouldnt be able to keep still OR stop grinning if Holly Valance had been half naked in the back of the van.

Id just be rolling around where she had laid...ARRWHHHOOOOOO.

hey Geoff what do you think he was doing for the whole long run,, sleeping in the van... haha.

Were a pack o dirty old bastards eh,, HA HA HA

Still smells like "HOLLY!" too!

Can't wait for the film to be released!!!!!!

She looked so,............ HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!

Boobie Roof is out, took out to refit the telly for the Long Run to Broken Hill......

Hard to get a pic of it when in, so here is a pic of it out!


May end up putting into another van, although Connor is desperate to have it mounted on the roof in his bedroom.
Mum said yes, and he has witnesses so she can not change her mind!!!!!
