Half Breed - Australian mk1 custom

Postby Luke » Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:17 pm

I've got this pic but no other info - it's Australian and from the pic you can see its called Half Breed :D At 1st i didnt even realise it was a transit but looking at the lines i'm pritty sure it is - the grooves on the wing give it away as a mk1 not a mk2 :D

but it looks an amazing van 8) has anyone got any more pics or info of it :?:

i thought of modifying the tail lights,
the recessed HQ ones in half breed would be better protected.. but

i thought the WB holden ones would better suit a standard look and gain some decent reverse lights.. still dearer than the factory transit ones though. hard choice.
easy to leave stock, if they work. but if theres heap of rust to fix could be interesting to graft in.
