My sandman photo's... "Circa 1979..1981"

Thats life Robbo, I wish my old man had never sold his model d John deere as it would be worth around 25 grand to one of those tractor collectors (would have paid to restore a sandman which is far more sensible) and his EH wagon. His old fargo ute is still here though, project number two.
I bet you felt pretty slick cruising in it!:D

Hi wbute,
they were great day's driving around in a sandman. It make's me feel really old to see them registered with historic plate's now. Although there are no sandman's around here anywhere.

Cheer's.

We did up rodney's fathers farm truck, which was a hell of a project especially getting parts from USA...Looks great now, and has a 351 under the bonnett...been good as a water truck for gardens around here, as we have no water much....we enjoyed doing it though, and use it for our business along with our vans....remember commercial builders vehicles....;);) If everyone did up an old vehicle we would save our history...Yes when I think of all the A9X Toranas, and GTS monaros I used to drive around in and could have bought for nothing....hindsight I wonderful thing, not to mention XYGTHO...say no more

Nothing special about dads fargo, just sentimental. He bought it new and Mum and Dad went on their honeymoon in it.
I started working on it and then met the bride and that was as far as I got.
Sounds like you must be in the west of central west?

OK. Went through there a couple of times last year on way to Condo racing bikes. Small world.

I doubt you would have too much of a concern about rust out that way, it's a nice part of the world.

Not much rust here Yes we like it here although water is a problem....the sunshine coast is nice too, we went to Kenilworth after Frazer Island in Jan this year...

Our EH we bought for a second car



the van with an ugly roo bar and racks for the canoe towing our old merlin with a 307 chev, we still use her each year, and doesnt miss a beat....



Rodney's Dad's old truck we restored, it will carry any un registered Sandmans about :D



My XR8



My Jeep I traded in the XR8 and bought this for camping and beach driving.....
