    Why have one Sandman, when you can have five...utes!!

    Just saw this article on Just Cars website. Does the guy in question Paul Sharp visit the forum? Would be awesome to have his collection

    Rod & Jennie might have some competition

    Why five? “Because I’ve got five kids – one for each!”, he told us. Now that’s a Dad we’d all like to have! Paul is partway through achieving that goal, with three Sandman utes currently in his possession, all of which were sourced through Seven82 Motors. While most Sandman fans go for the panel vans, Paul’s a fan of the utes, as he used to own one, specifically an Absinth Yellow HJ with a 253 V8, 4 speed manual and black trim. Paul currently uses one of his three Sandmans, a 308 V8-powered HJ, as his daily driver. A second is a ‘work in progress’ and the third, the show-quality Absinth Yellow HJ that’s the subject of this feature, is being pampered by Paul’s wife, Tracee. Paul told us Tracee loves the Sandman so much, she may not give it up. Looks like you’ve got a fight on your hands, kids!

    So is the whole article just an ad for SEVEN82MOTORS?

    I like it. Very nice but far from original resto, no time wasted trying to perfect something that was never perfect or consistent originally! The only thing I don't really like is the quad nose, but not my car. Love the stance, the fact it still has tonneau hooks and doesn't the HZ mirror treatment look good on a HJ?
