This EJ Panel Van has been a dream build for the owner for the past 30 years, after loosing a show winning van in the 80’s in a fire, the owner played with motorbikes for a while, but the draw of another EJ was too great so after a few years of looking for a suitable replacement he found a satin black van that was not originally windowless. After driving it around the last few years, the window panels started cracking and showing signs of bad workmanship on the window fill panels, he decided it was about time to have the job repaired and have the window fill panels removed and replaced, as the gallery will show, even the inner support frames were fabricated and repaired to complete the factory look.

There is more work to come on this van so stay tuned for updates in this gallery.
