    Another old girl saved

    This jasmine yellow 308 sandman was found under a tree by someone we know, and brought back to Forbes....the interior is very good, the outside needs soda blasting, a bit of panel beating, and a paint job....this van was not purchased by us (i had better make that clear)



    Unmolested door trims 63v






    the rear has a near perfect hoodlining, and arch...it has been off the road since 1992 so really has not been worn out, the engine runs very nicely too

    What are you thinking of doing with that one Jennie? Will it be going to another good home or will it be project #2 for yourself and Rodney?

    Sadly not ours, we offered to buy it though, it is a guy who lives in Forbes, we have bought lots of bits and pieces from him, and after seeing ours all restored has inspired him to do the same, he used to have a HQ Sandman...we just went over to have a look at it...I have photos of ID plates, and the tyre placard is a sandman one in the original glovebox....he bought for a reasonble price and no it didn't have GTS mirrors or a GTS steering wheel which was odd, maybe the previous owner needed some money, or he smashed one of the mirrors and bought those instead...

    When I got mine it did not have GTS mirrors either. I have seen another HZ somewhere along the way with out them also.

    Jennie, is it XX7 brissy built? mine is 10/78. Who know with holden, maybe they ran out and just wacked on standard ones for a while.

    I would say by the dodgy stripes that it has had a few personal touches along the way including the mirrors and steering wheel.
