Re: 1964 mini van project rolling resto!
I just replied to your other post in the technical section & decided to take a look at your van, in fact it's in nice condition, there are guys around who can blend in new paint, particularly cellulose & when cut & polished it matches up. Changing those Yokes for crossplies? I think if I did that I would most certainly die the first time it rained! My second car was a 1963 Mini Van which was Whitehall Beige in colour, it still rates as one of the best vehicles I've ever owned, it had many modifications one of which was a mesh grill like Astons have, which was made by my late father. I wish I still had it! I sold it because it needed new floor pans, inner sills & outer sills, all stuff I could put right now I have the experience.

Seen your reply thanks ! Changed the Yokos and reverse rims . For the original steels and the crossplys! Feels like you have four flat tyres! Looks loads better though!Lord Croker wrote:I just replied to your other post in the technical section & decided to take a look at your van, in fact it's in nice condition, there are guys around who can blend in new paint, particularly cellulose & when cut & polished it matches up.
