Evening everyone, I'm new here so i thought I may as well introduce my self and my cars.
I'm Matt, I'm from Melbourne and I have been looking for a sprinter for a long time, yet having failed to find the right one for me, I went for the KE panel.

Bought it last week, sorry about the limited camera phone pics.

Got it at an alright price. Just going to tidy it, register it, then start doing suspension, wheels and most likely a 4AC or AGE conversion.

And the week earlier I bought the sedan thats sitting behind it, no plans for that really, just going to let my 12 year old brother dirt slide it.

Thanks.

Speaking of that, would the slanty front sedans front end bolt onto the panel van?

Bonnet will bolt on.

Guards could possibly, it depends on the brackets at the front of the guard. Panelvans have weird brackets, Early sedans have none, late sedans have a simple bracket.

You could make custom brackets if you were keen on swapping. If you ended up doing it, it could look cool.

G/L with it.

its pretty much the same front end as a T18, so the panels ARE longer than your standard panels from a *e7* so i dunno how plausible it is

Yeah, I had a look at the doors and realised they were a different size (was'nt planning on changing doors anyway) so I assumed the guards would be slightly different. Thanks for that.

Yeah, well come and help out this weekend. I'm not racing so ill hopefully be spending some time on this thing. While your here you can ask my dad about the bonnet, I mentioned it to him and grunted, didnt seem to care, but he'll want money his way concidering he has Jew like tendancies. Hes in charge of the slanty because its really for my brother and I just take parts from it as I need.

Bugger the front end swap. Straighten out that panel, put a new front bar on it and she's shmick!

I heart those front ends, they look dope when dropped with a madhouse style lip.

Or you can convert to slanty front and get a foha lip from AJPS :D
