Took my sandman down to the car wash today and wash it tonight because it was dirty from a trip to orange for a show and shine in orange last week end ready to go to local car club drive to canowindra tomorrow
The Panno is waiting patiently for a good buff and shine. It's been a year since it got the works. Rego just around the corner and a few car shows coming up so I wouldnt mind repairing a couple of annoying little rust bubbles as well. Other than that it takes it's turn in running me into town a few times a week and at the moment it seems like there is a massive thunderstorm very time I do, poor old bus.
Hi.
In the Holden shed, their been a lot of buying of parts.
HQ sandman van, I now have the bucket seats and bonnet.
now have all the core parts, so this ready for the rebuild.
Hx/hq sandman van, I have been trying to find another body
in the correct build date, no luck. Decided to combine all the
things I like from hq/hx/hz and extras. Picked up a hz body no
windows and chassis, this will give the good handling, use the
hx black interior, will change the front cowl panel to hq and fit
single head light front with gts guards.Paint colour will be
hq blackwatch green met with hq sandman decals and going
to love fitting this, 350 decals to the front guards, turbo 700
and lsd disc brake diff, just gear box and diff to go.
Hj van, this will have twin head light front and gts guards, with
black interior, paint will be contessa gold met. 454,turbo 350
and 9' inch. lowered a lot, so I can fit my low75 number plates.
just engine block and gearbox to go.
Cleaning and polishing only, the weather has been Sh** .
