Working out design and finish for malachite hz van

[ambientgoat]

I agree with the people who said stock looking with a stroker. But I also think twin turbos

[HQVAN]

The fibreglass add on suggestion was said with tounge firmly in cheek... :friendly_wink:

I wouldn't suggest doing that to an original sandman, I can't even bring myself to do it to my HQ!
(A basketcase on the other hand...)

Here are a couple of pics of my favourite 'mild custom' Sandman, formally owned by Andrew (Vandil) of Majestic Vanners:







Nice wheels, Fat Rubber, Great stance, Modern driveline, neat custom features (bubble windows and taillight covers, full length bar)

Massive fan of this van, it now resides in Tasmania, owned by our first Tassie member.


Cheers,
Karl.

Can someone give me a tip on how to get the pics to display bigger? instead of these thumbnails?

Karl, if you have loaded through the site then only allowed small images. See http://www.mysandman.com.au/forums/s...sting-websites for webhosting images. Then you can load bigger ones.

Cheers Hayley, and congrats on the new 'moderator' title!

or reading this from wilky on Sandman comics, there are some cool ones in there

This is a list of characters appearing in The Sandman comic book, published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. This page discusses not only events which occur in The Sandman (1989–1994), but also some occurring in spinoffs of The Sandman (such as The Dreaming (1996–2001) and Lucifer (1999–2007)) and in earlier stories that The Sandman was based on. These stories occur in the DC Universe, but are generally tangential to the mainstream DC stories.

triple threat, until you get another one , ls1 or 304 stroker-355, twin turbo, 15's, original looking inside and outside besides rims, then some fun under bonnet, mad sleeper, i want to put a 355+5spd in my sedan, if i get bored or rich then a pair of snails to liven her up a touch

[HK1837]

304 stroker is a 350, not a 355! Common mistake/misnomer. It does become 355 if you use a +0.030" bore though.

Just put a dirty great big blower on it that will turn heads
