Starting on the Panel Van #2 Magnum Force

Howard and Darren start the process of pulling the van apart, all interior is removed, panels off and much more to come.
Howard Astill is building an XC falcon panel van to replace the one he had new in 1977. Howard is no stranger to building street machines with more than 17 major builds for himself and Astill Design customers.
These cars have won hundreds of trophies all over Australia including Summernats Top Judged and Grand Champion. Howard helped the Perry’s win Grand Master in 2017 and BOSSXC was a superstars Super Six winner 2023 and 2024 and Summernats people’s Choice winner.
The Van will be a restomod style build with an old school 351 Cleveland, single rail 4 speed and BW disc bake rear.
The Van was a country car from Nyngan NSW and was delivered with air-conditioning, power steering and rear lift gate. Howard Bought the car at auction in Sydney, it has a genuine 52K on the clock and had been parked outside under a tarp for over 20 years.
The series will follow the restoration and modification over the van in detail as it happens.
