Default Just brought Mk2 esky panelvan

hello,
just grabbed myself a mk2 esky panelvan.
4 speed manual
1.6 kent, no rust, all straight body, and alot of spare parts.
all for $500.
now my first question..how the hell do i open the bonnet?!!
i cant find a pulley in the normal position..i swear it hides when i try and find it.
i know it opens cause the people i brought it off opened it straight away..
video up soon.

There is a bonnet release lever right near the kick panel....Reach under and you should be able to feel it. If not stick your head under there and take a look.

was that LPG i saw then?

Love the esky PV's..nearly bought a Mk11 as my first car back in 86, ended up with a corolla van instead, no regrets but still got a soft spot for the eskys..
