    HJ Sandman>>>Long Road

    Hi all, Well I know I havent been a member here for long but I have been busy finnishing my van off, as you have all done. What a learning curve it has been!!!
    Full off chassis resto. at times a complete debarcle, but fun to. I bought the van in Brisbane in Dec 2008 and dident even know what it was, except a HJ van, well after some reserch I discovered it is a true Brisbane built HJ Sandman, lucky me, just what I was looking for, anywho, there starts the 3 year saga, well worth it in the end, I went to main roads 4.05pm 23rd Dec for some rego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeeehhaaaa

    Mick, I think I remember seeing that one on ebay and wishing I could have seen it, rare colour and good running gear combo. Was the sellers name Stef? or something like that?
