    That was/is a nice ute! What happened to it? I was 5 turning 6 when you bought that. Oh how I wish I had the opportunity to roll one off the dealership floor!

    Were the wheels, headlight protectors and bumper overriders all factory or were they ordered specifically?

    wheels when this one was ordered I believe to be factory. As it was late HZ.

    Hi All,

    "wbute" & "kaido", I traded the ute in on a wagon in october 1981 as I was getting married.I thought it was a good idea at the time, but in hindsight it was really stupid, especially with what I replaced it with.

    "hainzy", The wheel's were standard fitment, the headlight protector's and overrider's I fitted.The only option I had was mud flap's.

    I purchased "scuff plates" that fit behind the door handle's, sill mould's, wheel arch mould's, windscreen wiper dwell control unit and the rubber seal for the tailgate from the selling dealer. You could do that then, and my brother in law fitted them over time.

    Cheer's.

    If I'd known they were going to cease production a couple of month's after I bought it, it would have been a different scenario. I have no knowledge of any publicity surrounding the demise of the Sandman.
