Popular Post Rocket88 Posted June 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2022 Not sure if I started a thread on this or not, probably not as my flameproofs are still smouldering from the Peugeot/Golf unpleasantness. Anyhoo…. Vauxhall never made an FE panel van, a situation that needed remedying. It will have a Chevy small block in it, and it will be Cadbury purple… puddlethumper, mercedade, purplebargeken and 47 others 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Now that is fucking fantastic. My late brother in law had a number of VX4/90's and had he still lived, he would have built something along those lines. Really hope it all works out OK.

skoda_fan Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I had the saloon version years ago and loved it. This looks fab. Very 70s custom! Needs a porthole in the rear panels.

Rocket88 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Deciding to do away with the screen rubbers, and flush fit the glass was the trickiest bit. Front screen meant welding in a new support structure, on the rear we sectioned the rear tailgate, and moved it up ( hence slit) that slit is going to be the aperture for the new rear light clusters.

RichardK Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Dibs. Like seriously. My original plan in the 90s was having my Ventora done in purple with purple/white seats, white vinyl top. At the same time I cleared obsolete vauxhall spares FE stock and filled my VX2300 estate with panels - but then my twat of a garage broke my Ventora, lost the chassis rails I'd given them to fit, and I sold my VX (panels included) because I was so thoroughly fucked off with it all. This is my /dream/ spec from the first things seen and I really hope it turns out amazing. Bren, Matty and Rocket88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
