too bad about it being a manual.. which i cant drive due to restrictions.
Rust wouldnt be to hard to fix would it?
Looks OK but you never know what is hidden under paint.
what restrictions? im guessing you havent got your manual licence?which i cant drive due to restrictions.
Ah that explains the grey area as ive only had two wbs apart, one was all metric and the other was a mix..Originally Posted by ozbox
yeh...i know for sure........ i have pulled 100s of wbs apart in the last 20 years...:twisted:
you need 2 sets of spanners and sockets,metric and imperial coz from the factory they ran a mishmash of both and after they left the factory people did the old..[hq to wb are the same] which meens that they are always fucked up bolt wise....:Chin:
1976 HJ XX7 Sandman
Genuine VN SS manual atlas grey
HX LE Coupe project
unfortunately we didn't have a manual car at the time.. and i couldn't really afford lessons in someone else's manual.
Thats no good, i guess thats one benefit of living in the sticks and having paddock bombs! is it possible to go get your manual licence before your off your p plates if you buy a manual van? worst part about it is the no V8's. im about half way through mine, only 2 more long years to go.. :cry:
i have about 14months to go
Don't even be thinking thoughts like that or you're never going to end up with a van. The wrong gearbox is much easier to fix than a rusty pile of crap. I've got a pile of Automatic cars I'd happily trade the auto setup from one for a good manual setup.
Don't be picky on the little things. Find the neatest straightest body you can and buy it. Everything else can be sourced from a $1000 donor vehicle and all leftovers sold off. That's the beauty of the Sandman Replica. The good body is the only part in high demand. Everything else is run of the mill stuff easily sourced from a less desirable model and available in abundant quantities. Just check ebay's restoration and damaged cars section for how many HQ-WB's for sale.
ok cheers.. Well im going to go see it.. and if it comes to it i might trade exactly as you said.
