EK Van Project. (not for sale)

This is the ongoing saga of the EK van project - some dimensions, equipment to be fitted and other things will be changed during the course of the build - don't panic if there is no activity for a while - this simply means you will have to check the progress on some of the other projects! For more details on how certain things are done- don't forget to check out the secrets revealed album.
Windscreen update 2010 - NZ.

The van on the right is the next victim - It will wear the roof from the wagon on the left and the wagon roof in the back ground will supply parts for the rest of the chop. Result ? A sedan delivery that won't give away its wagon heritage.
