The song 'unanswered questions' is funny as :D good work :D Cheers for that, glad you liked it.

Depends what you are looking for. If you wanna hear music you've never heard before its great. find out where your fave bands are playing. I have a music site and a comedy site. for musicians / comedians myspace is a pretty good medium to get your material heard, and make a bigger fanbase. especially if you have music/material available for download etc. people have bought our cds through contacting us on myspace comedy : www.myspace.com/the_laundromats music : www.myspace.com/shanedowney

Some pics from my travels...and some from home. These are all taken on a Kodak C533 Digital Camera which cost me brand new about $175 It doesn't take very great night shots, but the daytime photos are quite awesome for a cheapo little camera.

Wahey, found a place that sells lots of chrome accessories for hiace, and only marginally more expensive than your standard after market stuff too, which isw awesome. Got the whole front end for the hiace in chrome, grill, and light surounds. Well, I am excited.

The engine isn't too bad, but was a work van and has been flogged, as work vans do. I know the engines are pretty much indestructable, and it has had a rebuild, new head, etc, but i just want to refresh it all, to do long haul travel. Its done close to 400,000 kms, so i dont expect to get another 100,000 out of it. I figure if I go a brand newie (they go for around $2k) its cheaper than another full rebuild and it will give a better resale value. Thats pretty much my reasoning for it.

here is a link to some of my photography. www.fotothing.com/gemshane Its a great site for amateur and professional photographers to showcase their material to peers.

Hey people, I have just purchased a hiace for a total bargain price , and am about to start modding it, and just wondering if anyone here has modded a van before, and what sort of legalities are required. Maybe if you know of a website/forum for van mods to forward me to, that would be good too. Mods I plan on doing are basically: Bigger wheels, (chromies) I know for legal reasons/insurance purposes I have to use commercial vehicle mags, and have found that the wheels for AU Falcon utes are good(as in a legal swap over) but wondering if anyone else knows of any other wheels that may fit? 5 x 114.3 (not sure on offset tho) & load rating of 101 Nice zorst, 2 and a half inch through i think should be nice (minus the **** cannon) Lowering - not stupidly low, but less 4WD looking than what it is., - front is easy, just a couple of nuts to loosen, but back is leaf springs. anyone ever lowered one of these before? Paint - Paint on it is dead, so doing a respray at home...not sure on colour yet, Interior: is gonna be a camper, with polished timber walls and floors(housemate is a carpenter) with black crush velvet everywhere else. I will get around to replacing the 385k worn out dunger of a2.4L engine later in the year, with a brand newie but for now, it will do. RACQ will save the day. I am having a few electrical issues, but should have that sorted by the weekend. And thats pretty much it. Let me know if you have seen modded vans and know what looks good, and also if you know of anyone with parts that would be awesome too. but the point of this is to give a bit of an intro of me and have somewhere to start my project's thread. Thanks for reading. Shane Oh heres a pic of the old girl so far.

Gday people. My name is shane, and i own a Toyota...a hiace in fact. I have just bought it, and have many plans for it. I have no decent pics of it yet, but i will do couple this week, and post a thread about the project in detail. Good to be here. Later
