HQ Panel Van Sandman or Not??

[Blocker]

Take pics of the centre console mounts.

Console mounts may not help on HQ. If it has the mount there it is most likely is a Sandman, BUT seat separator in HQ used the same mount. I have to have a bit better look at this in the HQ ordering procedure wrt seat separator and 4spd.

If it still has the Pagewood gold painted firewall intact it may also have a telltale that is visible once the guards are removed.

I would have to have a better look if it has console mounts or not, i didnt take to much notice at first.

HK1837 - If it still has the Pagewood gold painted firewall intact it may also have a telltale that is visible once the guards are removed.

Yes it still has the GTS dash in it

1974 Pagewood HQ's had body colour painted firewall. With the guards off there are certain chalk markings I have seen down low under the paint (paint lifts off the chalk). If it has been resprayed in that area the marks will be gone.

Sounds like HQ's are rather confusing.....

So pull the gaurds off and have a look in other words and also have a look if its got a rear console mounts. I'll have a look this weekend when i do some work on it and see what i find. Thanks alot for you help

Chalk marks may not help you much. It isn't the fact they are there, it is what they mean. For me it is still research in progress. That is why I made my initial comment, first word of the second sentence.

Mate does it have the rear mount for the console welded on the floor? Still got the dash in it...

That would be a very rare surviver one. I dont thnik you could get a 253 with an M20 any other way.

Interesting that it has a six in it too...

HQ's are no harder than many others to identify. There are simply not that many around which makes them much less talked about.
