Early changes

While the van was in pretty good condition, there were a few things that needed to be done early on.

Early changes included:
  • Window tint - darkest legal tint on the driver and passenger windows, and ambulance tint on the carry space windows. Made a huge difference to the look! Cost: $300

  • Exhaust - The van had a set of extractors and a single pipe, which sounded LOUD, but were obviously in need of some work. We wanted twin pipes, so we Johnny Mac's exhausts in Moolap (Geelong) put together a nice set of extractors and twin system which suit the van really well. Nice work! Cost: $800

  • Stereo - the radio cassette player had to go! We wanted a good quality CD player with MP3 capability, and installed a Pioneer unit, along with some new 6" round speakers in the doors, and 6" x 9" jobs in the back. The whole thing cost about $400 - good value!

  • Spare Wheel Cover - I bought (eBay again!) a spare wheel cover in black which was from a WB Statesman. While I'm not a fan of the spare wheel being in the back of the van, I won't drive without a spare (I don't like being stranded!). At least the black one looks a bit better. Cost: $10
