Gidday Guys

A Mate and I actually own the Purple Front shown above.

It's off of one of the Mystere/Recaro Toranas that were built in the 70's.

It's very similar to the Escort Taipan Front and would certainly look good on the Front of an Esky.

I agree with James , let your imagine run Wild. The Sky is the limit.

Sidepipes - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Now we're talking.
CB - You can get an old School UHF. I'll have a look at mine to give you an idea and it can be still used today!!
Cassette player - I've got an 8 track and graphic equaliser to go in mine.
Flares - If their the right ones, they look great!

by old skool van 26/10/2011, 2:45 am

thanks, im thinking about a chrome roof rack, bubble windows, 12 slotters, and maybe a bubble sunroof if i could find one.

by AGR071 26/10/2011, 7:52 am

Chrome roof racks are off wagons,
There is a bloke on Ebay with bubble windows.
2 months ago sold a set of 14 x 8 12 slotters with 8/10 chrome & chrome hit on caps. But they do also come up on Ebay.
Try Ebay for a sunroof as well.

There are other sales available (Gumtree & Trading Post) for example.

by old skool van 26/10/2011, 9:44 am

thanks agro, i saw on ebay a guy selling these things to change the stud pattern for an escort, i might get some of them and try and get some strikers. cheers

STRIKERS!!!!......... a man after my own heart. Very Happy

by old skool van 26/10/2011, 12:14 pm

yeah im my opinion there are one of if not the best rims for vans.

by AGR071 26/10/2011, 12:33 pm

I've seen a pic of a Gemi with Strikers on it.
Looked Sweeet!!

by old skool van 26/10/2011, 12:49 pm

it would of, do you think they would suit an escort?

by AGR071 26/10/2011, 1:37 pm

Don't know unfortunatly.
All you can do is ask some of the older vanners on here or go to the Panelvans Of Oz site and check all Flash Harry's pics out.
