    We know the feeling Will.co....thankfully Absinth verified it last year when he saw it at the all holden day, but we found original blackouts underneath the paint which we scratched off prior to soda blasting...its a pity all the ID plates didn't have a Sandman stamp on them be it xx7 or another code...

    Hope to see you next year at Van nats....

    I don't care what anyone says! HQ Sandmans are the best looking of them all! I personally would always choose a HJ, but the HQ certainly has looks to kill especially in the right colour.

    Funny how tastes change over the years. Back in 1980 I didn't like the HQ at all even though I had a couple, I didn't like the nose or the GTS dash, my favorite being HJ with the squarer nose, gts guards and great looking GTS dash.

    Now..... I really like the sweeping curves of the HQ nose, the HQ GTS flutes in the guards and I really like the look of the bright machined GTS dash. My favorite is still HJ though.

    Seatbelts

    The new seat belts from - Monaro Muscle Parts - James Van Buuren turned up yesterday and i must admit they were a bit exy$$ but once i pulled them out of the box i realised that it is true you get what you pay for because they are excellent quality and im really happy with them, thanks James..

    They will slot in nicely to the HQ, can anyone offer any suggestions for when i come to fit them please.

    Cheers crew

    More intersting conversation.....:Chin:

    Well i just spoke to the bloke who sold me my van and was discussing things about HQ's etc.
    Well F&%K me if he didnt introduce me to one of his mates who also has a 7/74 HQ sandman that he purchased without the XX7 but full history of the vehicle says it was definatelly bought from Holden as one.

    It's got all the right,interior, numbers etc and bits etc..as you can imagine i went into detail.

    I told him about this website and suggested he get on here to introduce himself and make the most of all the good stuff it offers!!

    He has done a bit of work tyo the van and its not in its orig state, ie engine now a blueprint 308, tubbed the gaurds etc, but it still is a glorious windowless HQ whos true origins are a sandman...

    Shit i should start a Tasmanian HQ NO XX7 club

    Ill get more details and stuff as i know they will be requested and get back to you, i only had a half hour to chat with him but we are catching up for a run in the next month or so and ill get pics etc.
