Oldmans HX Sandman

[HQGTSbrad]

Hi all my name is Brady I'm 15 turning 16 i own a HQ 4 door Monaro and 3 Kingswoods and a factory 253 V8 Premier, Do not have any Panelvans or utes (well we accurly have one but its not a HQ-HZ its an Ek Panno) would love to have a panelvan cause they are so handy and look real good when done right.
But my dad had a HX Sandman when he was a bit older then me. the pics are bad quality cause they are Pictures of a Picture. oh and by the way the aftermarket paint that it was painted as is British Racing Green

Is that Barbados green you can see through the speaker hole in the driver door of the third photo?? Good stuff mate on the collection so far. You remind me of myself at your age, except you have a far better collection than I had. I was lucky, I got my sandman at 17.

Yea mate thats barbados green, its not the cars original colour its original is Chrome Yellow



the back doors are the original as they are yellow under neath. but the two front are not the passenger side is white it also does not have its GTS GUARDS the old owner wanted them for his hq tonner so he got some normal guards and sprayed them to suit the paint (crap).
