I'll second that mate, while it's not my ideal interior it takes a lot more work for a finish like that than to cover it in cheap material.
And I agree Hell Raiser looks like a winner to me too! Cool

**Time Lapse** Thu 19 May 2011, 10:10 pm

Thanks for the footage well done I enjoyed it. Q1..who owns the white escort with late ford front, and are they majestic Vanners, I hope so it is an awesome van.!!! Q2..what front is on the other escort next to it I love the look of that Van too, hopefully a M V'er too.

Funny case there was only one car that everyone was gathered around checking it out.....
Mind me saying it was that grey/blue Ford with the murals.

Does anybody know where it faired?

Cheers Al.

the ford with the murals didn't make it to the top ten due to the back being closed and not able to be judged Rolling Eyes

top 5 in my books, but there you go?????? drevil

**vanman69** Fri 20 May 2011, 11:15 am

that other esky has a laser front on it, although if i was to do it i'd put a tx3 front on it off of the all wheel drive, looks muuch tougher and heaps rarer. Sorry, a mate mine is doin em up and knows aeverythin about them, some stuff kinda sank in, lol

The white Escort is owned by Bluey, I dont know what club he belongs too and the other Escort is Peewee's, the body work was all done by Peewee who is a great bloke who does all my repairs on Checkmate. He's a lone wolf in the club department! Very Happy

But next time he rings I'll word him up! Wink

Bluey, Steve Wright, is a Member of Diamond Valley Vanners if I remember correctly.

Keep an eye out for the latest issue of Street Machine....

The Silver FJ is a feature car in it, great article and has some great photos.

Awesome looking Van, real credit to the owner Josh.

Would have had it as the top van of the nats, but vanners choice was well deserved.

**FJ21O4** Wed 15 Jun 2011, 10:04 pm

Thanks HQVAN. Glad you like it.
Josh

**The Zodiac** Wed 15 Jun 2011, 10:08 pm

I got to say after reading the article in Street Machine and seeing more pics, the silver FJ should've won the top award, mate the finish, detail and innovations on it are top notch, I cant see how it got beat.

**FJ21O4** Wed 15 Jun 2011, 10:14 pm

Oh no mate, I was lucky to get 3rd. That esky and procs J are 2 awesome vans.
Glad you liked the mag. I thought it was in next mths edition.

**The Zodiac** Wed 15 Jun 2011, 10:27 pm

Next months should have some more cool van stuff with the 30th Anniversary bonus mag! Don't sell yourself short Josh, your vans right up there and is certainly one of the nicest vans to hit the scene in a long time. Glenn (greycloud) owns a schmick FJ van too!
Cheers Rob

Hey Josh,

Welcome to Majestic Vanners!

I was sitting at the table with you when you got your trophy, along with Chris (sinbin) and James (insmn8).
It was a well deserved award, but I was sure you were going to get top van.
Great feature article in Street Machine you must be stoked!

My van was obviously the moron HQ you can see in my profile pic.

Start yourself a thread in the my van section, there are plenty of people on here that are fans of your van and would love to ask you about your build.

Cheers,
Karl.

**FJ21O4** Wed 15 Jun 2011, 11:17 pm

Thanks Karl,
Im trying to place you. At the table were you the one with the family or the funny bloke that was yelling stuff out?
Ill start a thread soon. Early start tomorrow so im off.
Thanks again mate,
Josh
