Johnny Macs 62 van

Post by kerryminigringo »

This is club member Johnny Mc Kennas 62 Austin van.Anyone who saw this down at the back of my house can tell you how bad this was and all the more amazing that he has got it back together.It still has it's original engine but large amounts of new metal has been grafted in.It should be making it's first appearance on The Cooley mountain run on the 8th of November.

Serious work done on this van. When I saw it in KMG's back garden, it was a complete shed.

The sad news is Johnny sold his van but the good news for him is that it was for a price he could not refuse.Anyway this is what has kept him busy for the last couple of months.I picked it up from Shane Gill looking a little sad but Johnny has worked his magic again.
