I've owned Max for around 15 years and have done alot of finishing touches. The previous owner had been doing all the engine and most of the body work.

I added tbe grill, dashboard, carpet, cranking sound system and alot of other tiny improvements to the custom design. Fresh professional paint job and extensive bodywork. Has transformed 'MAX' into a very unique custom work van. Yes I use the vehicle almost daily to travel around for my mobile guard rolling business. I have done this for many years now along with many South island, New Zealand road trips. He has been ever faithful and well looked after. We are excited to be attending the New Zealand mini nationals show in October 21'.
We hope to find out more history by adding him to this register. If you have links or info to any history in Australia, we would love to learn more about him. You can email me at steve@guardroll.com or message me on Facebook @guardroll
