Super van find there.
Yellow for mine though. Great colour Can see it through the other paint in the pic where it is on the hoist. But go with your heart.
Agro, Still have not seen a black Sandman in the flesh.

Should be great when its all done! At least you can drive it. I have been though 6 cars in total to get select parts for my van, non of them have been running. all projects that have been abandoned or wrecks too good to crush. Don't get too phased by the build taking longer than you think, as they always do. My van is a WB being mocked up as an HSomething, with a few frilly bits. So if you aren't worried about original, paint it whatever you like and enjoy it. Good luck!
the rim was a spare,the centerline rim was in the back of the car with a popped tyre when i got itOriginally Posted by agr071
and cheers guys always loved the colour windsor blue,might post a few progress pics up,is it ok to post vids up in your own threads?
also noob question,was there only a few thousand or so hz's made,is there a build number on the plates anywhere?
Huge amount of HZ's made, HQ's are the rare ones. Sandman was just a vehicle package like Vacationer so nothing special, and thus no build numbers anywhere. GMH didn't put build numbers on their special cars like XU-1 and L34, so a commercial vehicle had no chance!
well i have a rare ish HJ black sandman. as you can see by my profile pic i painted it green and it has a injected 5L in. at the end of the day its only paint can be changed and a engine is only bolted in LOL
