    HQ Sandman Details

    Something nice to start the thread off. A couple technical drawings of HQ Ute and Van.

    Well that certainly is a lot of detail Blocker.

    Would I be correct in assuming, that both the ute & van were improved as each model progressed?.....HQ..J..X..Z.

    There is no draft date on these drawings, they just came in the post without any notes about them but they are from Holden.

    They may be pre productions drawings, or mid who knows...

    No holes for the side lights
    No hole in the plenium for the drivers wiper????


    I think the firewall hole beside the steering column is for the speedo cable so thats not it.
    The hole for the brake looks too far over near where the clutch should be.... haha no I got nothing... :-)

    Were rear quater side lights model specific? I thought I was onto a pattern from HQ to HX but then had it shattered. Can't figure it out...
