    New project

    I have missed out by the skin of my teeth on a couple of occasions trying to buy a panelvan preferably a sandman. Just bought this one sight unseen ( not a sandman) but will hopefully get there this weekend to have a good look. But for the price im already happy. Just love the Q's and in Barbados Green. Was a 6 cylinder originally. Will get more info off the plates on sunday

    I live in Darwin but im working in mackay QLD on a project for a couple of years. My parent's live about 3 hours south of here so the car will be going there first then who knows. Can you tell by the shape whether they are original or not?

    Side panel windows in a HQ are aftermarket or dealer fitted. So none are "factory original".
    Your best bet is to make cardboard templates and get some perspex bubble windows made.

    If it comes with the glass you have fit them clear, tint them or hang curtains. Whatever you please.

    Gunna: you wouldn't happen to have those gates laying around looking for a new (or old ) home? Although im hoping Ken has others there, its always worth an ask.
