How the van looked before bodykit being fitted

Don't know if they will help or not!

Hi Steve /all,

It looked like the place hadn't been painted in roughly 30 years. It would've been impossible to find if that #2 was gone or changed. Coincidently it was that black #2 that confirmed the location and where the original mag photo had been taken.......lucky it was still there!!

Its a pity we don't see more of the van in Running on Empty. Great film.

Here's a couple of pics from the 1977 Melbourne Motor Show.................

Apparently they used an XB van for the original conversion.

Sweeeet! I think the original turbine wheels fit the era much better but these are a tasteful replacement (no bling). The cowl and lens covers reinforce the BoB DNA. This style a van was never produced in the States so it has a real unique appeal.
