I actually seen it at Wheels 79 at the custom show in Glasgows Kelvin Hall.

yes i remember that van i was going to buy it in 1986 at a ford dealer in noth london . but it had a lot of paint to be repaird lots of money the van went round too many car sites in the end i know it was scraped . in its day it was a good van BUT with all that metal flake paint you cant just repair it you have to paint over half a van to get it to look half decent . thats why many of the top customs dont use metalflake paint today

still got the custom car mag with the feature on it

[thehangmen]

was thinking of dropping Custom Car magazine a line asking for more vans...(and more drag racing).
Their editorials recently are asking for readers feedback to influence their features.
I was a bit surprised that no dedicated vanners mag exists to be honest, considering there's magazines dedicated to cookery, slimming, knitting, steam engines, cameras and every bloody thing else.

It may be a b*stard to repair, but I've got a 750 Zef in metal flake, and it looks gorgeous - can't really tell in the pics, but trust me, up close, it's hard to beat for drool factor

Nice......always loved the zephs.

Nice wheels!

Just out of interest is that coated green and polished or coated green and chromax? Or painted??

[gmac]

It's painted normally, then a laquer (clear coat) is applied with the metal flake in it.
