Jason and Chanelle’s 1956 FJ Holden Panel Van

Mar 12, 2018 | Customer Projects

The Protec 606 painted (now overtaken by Direct Gloss – GMIX), Elk Blue 1956 FJ Holden Panel Van was a sentimental restoration. For Jason and Chanelle Vella, it was a caring love job because the FJ was a parent’s old car.

Six years ago, they completed what was considered a non-repairable disaster to put it lightly. The self-restored van is now a loving memory for every Sunday drive that is taken.

When asked for one DIY tip… “Never give up on your dream”.

This vehicle was featured in the 2018 Auto West Calendar.
