Late last year, my trusty Honda Civic that I'd owned from new since 2007 was reaching end-of-life... or at least starting to cost me more to keep running than it was worth. I figured that, as I'd been using this car as a pseudo-van for quite some time with back seats folded flat, that maybe my next car should actually be a van.
I opted to purchase a Toyota Proace City because it had a few more bells & whistles compared to the other vans in the same family, like the Peugeot Partner, Vauxhall Combi and Citroen Berlingo.
With it being a white van, I had this idea, and thankfully my wife was on board, to turn it into a sort of working ghostbustery vehicle, something that might be utilised for support, etc. After sketching out some ideas, trying to keep the van aesthetic rather than explicitly making a pseudo-replica Ecto-1, I think I'm done...
Parked outside the Rowtons' Museum of the Paranormal and Spirituality.
The rear of the van contains a mooglie (of course) off-centre with the name of my franchise and some contact details on the right door. Above my registration place EC70 TWO (which is genuine), there are stickers for "No ghouls left in this van overnight" which is a play on no tools left overnight, the "venting of vapor..." quite, which is used on the black Mercedes van in Frozen Empire, and then some novelty stickers on the right. The chrome lettering ECTO-2 is where it would normally have the name of the van model.
On the sides, another mooglie, "WHO YA GONNA CALL" without a ? because the font didn't work with the vinyl cutter, but it's fine, it's more of a statement than a question, some warning stickers like off the FE van and a couple of the 1A statements.
The other side is broadly the same except without the hazard symbols, and instead, there is a Zeddemore logo on the fuel cap with green slime dripping out.
I think I'm done with the exterior look now. I did get off Amazon a replica ECTO-2 New York commercial plate, but I might just stick it in the corner of the windscreen rather than try to attach it somehow.
My wife tells me I should really make a roof rack now... maybe... lets see what the summer brings.
