Introduce yourself to everyone.

there has been spike in the numbers of rear bars with LTD lights on ebay over the past couple of weeks. I've seen possibly three or four.

I must be looking in the wrong spot, as i haven't seen them.

I must be looking in the wrong spot, as i haven't seen them.

I've only just started to notice them. I usually search "HJ Holden". Saw at least two in the last week or so. Here's one: HQ(?) rear bar

Here's a set of the lights by themselves if you wanna have a go at your own bar: 1978 LTD rear lights

Regards,

Dave.

I watched one last week, it went for $118 in SA,when I did mine I used a HQ rear wagon bar, cut the holes, welded the custom brackets in and re chromed, I bought the tail lights new off the ford dealer .years ago I bought second hand spare tail lights and they were $150 the pair then. Cheers

This car I bought in late 1987 as a 16 year old for $250, I had another qtr guard but in the end it was to rough. This was a rolling shell. I still have this as a spare.

A couple of weeks later a rolling body shell( no motor,gearbox or front panels ), was in the local paper for $1000.i had a HJ statesman caprice as a parts car and after four and a half years she was on the road in June 1993.this is my road registered car coming up to 20 years on the road.


In 1995 I was looking out for a unmolested HQ GTS coupe and found this one , he wanted $4,500 and I sat on it for three weeks and he wouldn't budge on the price so I relented and purchased it.i haven't touched this one and look to get her on the road soon.

I know these are not your sandman type vehicles but a very close relative,I love to own a sandman and I'm sure it would be the same the sandman owners would love a monaro. But I share this with you guys and gals as the site has a good feel about it and so much info that is so handy holden wise.
Cheers

Monman you are so right most sandman owners probably want to own a monaro, but anywho, welcome and enjoy, great bunch of folk here... thanks for the pic's Cheers Mick

I am from Busselton WA
I found mysandman.com when I was trying to find out if the HZ Sandman that I have sinse bought was genuine. (Ta for the info)
For a living? It's a full time job avoiding work but if I have to it's a Subway franchisee.
Movies?. Madmax 1. I hope I don't seem insencetive but I think Max got mad when his Sandman blew up.
Music? Warren Zevon or Aussie Digital on the Internet
And I would like to do? Get the sandman on the road (not much to go) and take Katy and the Dogs on road trip to Exmouth.
And I'm proud of? I have to say, Katy and my sons of coarse, but I also like where I live and the collection of Yamaha IT's in the shed.

Hey Frosty great to have another person to the forums, glad you found us and you got your HZ sorted.
Always a good feeling when you work out that it is genuine, but you have heaps of them over their in WA!

We'd love to see photos and progress stuff on your car, so you could create a thread in the Showroom called something like Frosties HZ and use it as a diary, most people here can't read but we love pictures HAHA!
