Rear Bumper

One of the things which I particularly like to change is the rear bumpers on the panel van.

The standard Holden Van has two small "bumperettes" which protect the corners of the van. They are functional, but don't look particularly good. The picture below shows another van with the standard bumpers:



I picked up (again, on good old eBay) a very used HQ Station Wagon bumper for the top price of $10.

As you can see from the above photo, the bumper had a few dents - these are easy knocked out with a block of wood and a hammer.

After an afternoon of removing the old bumperettes (rusted bolts!) and fitting the new station wagon bumper, the job was done - and the number plate flap which pulls down conceals the LPG filler perfectly.
