    Wink The Retired Meat Van

    Hey all!

    Got this a few weeks ago. Its a ae71 pano. Got it off a Butcher in the same block of shops I work in and he's been using It as a daily and meat trasporter for the last 20 odd years. So It has had a fridge sitting in the back all that time but suprisingly it has hardly any rust. since then with the help of Svenmate Reseach and development and KKustom Tyre Service I have got a few mods done.

    suspension:
    - T18 S2 struts & brakes
    - exel g short strokes
    - AJPS 8kg springs (215mm)
    - stock rear end with fresh munroe shocks

    running gear:
    - tired old 4ac
    - nice t40
    - open S-series

    looks:
    - 14x7 +-0 performance fireballs?
    - rust removed
    - some kinda hektik yellow bucket seat on loan
    - no rear bar
    - 2009 refrigerated meat transport sticker

    plans:
    - locker
    - reset rear leafs
    - TRD blues?
    - rear sway bar
    - 4age
    - some bigger LCA's or camber tops
    - RE001's for the front
