Cool vans, does anyone remember' Transformation' a coup-ed lwb tranny and 'Iron horse' a mechanically stock hiace covered with brilliant steam train murals. Used to see them (and more) at Belle Vue (Mcr) in the late '70's Whoops! should have read the whole thread, just seen Transformation. Nice one. Iron Horse was rumoured to have been seen it in a field 8 years ago been used as a chicken shed

Awesome thread! The recent bump reminds me.. Anyoone remember Robocop? It was scrapped a few years back now unfortunately.. Before it went though, the owner had the thought to save the artwork, which has recently come my way after being sat around gathering dust! They'll become wall art in my new garage, one on either end wall

There is a 6 wheeler custom van in Furbers breakers in Whixall.
Cant remember the name on the side (could be Valhala?) Damn shame cos it looks like it has had loads of work done to it in the past

Damn shame cos it looks like it has had loads of work done to it in the past That'll be Valhalla for sure as I last saw it on a farm near Shrewsbury. Sad but entirely predictable I'm afraid. The fella who had it certainly did his part to accelerate it's demise by chopping half the roof off then leaving it outside I took some pics of it a couple of years back looking very sad indeed.

The best thing about custom vans is that along with lowriders they are the only style of modifying where the more tasteless stuff you do the better they look.

Here's how Valhalla looked last time I saw it. Note the missing roof In happier times... You usually find stuff like this stuck in scrapyards because the owner has unrealistic ideas of the value and would rather let them sit in the yard decomposing than sell "cheap"

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

My 6 wheel Hiace van (pics elsewhere in this thread)was the best van I ever built/owned. Badly wanted it back,but can find no trace of it anywhere !If it survived it is probably a complete wreck now anyway!I love vans ,but cant seem to get into the T25 vw I have recently acquired ,so it may have to go! The original Valhalla (built by Bill Hughes??) was the inspiration for my Hiace back in about 1986.
