my MINT ae71 panel van daily
picked this up today, it will be replacing my ke70 van as my daily:
it's about as close to 100% stock as you get and pretty damn clean with just under 190 000 km
plans for now are:
have.
set of 14x7 +12 mk11's. or maybe ill just leave the fully sick chromes.
cut down 86 struts and adm brakes.
kyb agx shocks.
cambertops.
chrome rear bar.
nardi steerer.
need to buy.
excel g shocks for the rear.
4 or 5kg springs.
ill get the front bar chromed to match the rear one i have as its the dx style bar just painted black.
the two things i dont like about the car are the t40 so hopefully soon ill put a t50 in it. another thing are the windows in the back which will have panels welded in. i found a van sitting in a paddock in the hills out the back of mine so hopefully ill be able to get cut outs to weld in off it.
what do you guys think?

very nice find mate
Man that's a minter. Fair bit tidier than the other white beast I saw.
cheers guys! yeah your not wrong matt, its a huge improvement! did you end up getting your bike? your old ke is just sitting in the shed at the moment i havnt done all that much but i should be getting coilovers soon, iv gotten into the rust a bit, sorted the hole around the shifter (almost), put different springs in the back, tacho dash (not working yet) etc. new waist gate will come when i do my tax return as well as some stuff from ajps. i spose i should put a thread up for it.
Yeah dude, got a bike, think I said I was after a crf450r at the time. Ended up with a cbr1000....lol.
Definitely throw up a build thread, keen to see what's happening with it. It sounds really good.
Hope your doin good man and I'm gunna keep my eye on this thread.
I also got a panelvan yesterday haha, yours is way minter than mine!
Is it staying 4ac?
yeah we deffs should hit up the back of mullum some time
you play halo?
add me GT: samnbhnc
haha cbr would be a bit different to a crf! that thing would haul some serious ass though! do you already have your open bike license matt?
ill put a thread up when i get the new waistgate in cos then it will be worthy.
yeah destroyer it will be staying 4a-c, i have matts old 3sgte ke in the shed so all i want is a nice clean reliable daily that is comfortable and handles well.
the roads out back of mullum are pretty bumpy sam there not that fun. there would be some sweet roads out the back of lismore wouldn't there? that road near springbrook where those ^ pics are taken is wicked!
nice find! i've got an older 82 modle panel van, what are you plans for the rear for handling? excel shocks?
