How Many Different TransAm Fronts were there on Aussie Vans/Cars?

Yours has a very pronounced ridge in the middle aye.

I wonder what the history of my unit is. Surely they didn't make their own plug and moulds, they must have popped moulds off an ausie part.

I might not use the lower section. I'm thinking it may be cool to use the factory WB bumper (mines a WB) painted black and the transam cone cut off level with the bumper so they don't conflict.

We'll see. I just rather like how low the front of the WB is with valence etc.

Sounds interesting.

I look forward to seeing some Pics when its underway.

Nice!

HQ Coupe with a T-Top:

This Front was advertised late 2018:



It came up again late 2019, now wanting $1k. Same Bloke.

ONe of our Members in SA recently bought a variation of the Front that I hadn't seen before.

It certainly has an aggressive look.

Recently repainted, was Grey.

I like the Purple!

This is very Cool!

The Flares and T-Top really set it off!

Believed to be Beast Master. Currently in a Shed in Qld ready for a rebuild.

A SA HQ Van, which was Airbrushed and I believe Customized by Hans Kruzen (The Paint Doctor) back in the 80's.



Had a Dracula Theme.

Appears to be the same TA Front as Marc Mitchell's NightMare which is still alive and lovingly rebuilt (without the front).

Pics from CV&T

This TA Fronted Tonner showed up at the recent Rocky Nats. I believe it was for sale in Bundy a few years back.

Photo by Tony Hales and posted on WasteBook recently.

Something different:

Love the Tonner!
The dakky is soooo 1980's

Regards, Smooth

I must agree.

The Tonner used to have "Modern" Wheels on it. I believe the Hot Wires suit it. I'm guessing that they're the 17" ones Performance is now making. I wouldn't mind going to 15" x 8" on the Front of the Wagon.

Some similarities to Street Legal, however the colour is Ford Midnight Blue.

The the Paint Job. Apppears to start as Antelope or similar at the Front graduating to a darker Colour at the Rear.

Nice old Kiwi van. Always liked the daisy pattern wheels.
The fade reminds me of my old HT Van "Pure Innocences" back in 1983.

I certainly haven't seen many of those Wheels around.

I think if memory serves me correct that I used to refer to them as Keystone Mags.  But I might be way off the mark and I think they may have been a Steel and Alloy combination.

Yup, that's them Keystone Daisy Wheels
Very late 60's 70's kind of wheel. No Australian manufacture really ever copied them so we didn't see them much.

WOW! Thank You Smooth.

That explains a lot.

Good to know my memory isn't too far off the mark.

Same style as Street Legal, this Green Van appears to use the original single Headlight Radiator Support with the addition of Spot Lights and a Mesh Grille.

Ps. I do like a Twin Carb Tunnel Ram!
