    HZ Sandman rebuild- Firethorn Red

    Well I bought my new project and had to expand the shed but finally starting the rebuild, Im going to do it up original as I have always done up hot vans and would like a stocker this time, It had been sitting in a shed locally for about ten years when a mate told me it was maybe for sale as the owner has been living in WA for years, it was pulled apart and never finished so I grabbed it. heres some shots.

    After seeing the great job that was done on this site by a few people filling in windows, I will do all the body work and then pay someone to do the windows as I dont think I could stop the panels warping, Body off this weekend and then I will paint chassis and driveline and then blast the whole body inside and out, Cheers.

    That'a a nice straight looking body to be starting with. Should make all the difference in the long run in terms of timeframe and price.
