I've been shopping, ebay although great to find hard to get items is pretty over priced especially if you're going after something that a couple others are as well.
These original HQ or early HJ vents cost me $2 each at the wreckers. I wonder how much I could get for them on fleBay?
Top left vent still sealed, radio section still sealed - just need to fill the section above steering column, and I've got a piece for that already.
The old one was hacked and twisted.
To replace the plastic Monaro GTS badge that came with my Sandman.
Now I can listen to the cricket or races like we were meant to! Mono and AM all the way baby :P
Wow, there is a little more cancer in the body then you first thought by the looks of it. Are you going to fill the sun roof and window holes in? A sun roof is definately an unwanted item but I personally don't mind the bubble windows in yours. Re-wiring that harness will be lots of fun as well.....
Nice score on the fascia, could you post or email me a close up of the radio infill from both the front and rear.
Also noticed your door light buttons look wrong, they may have been replaced by more modern versions from another car.
Looking good Andrew, now the fun begins..... keep the progress pics coming.
I seem to remember this one from around the Geelong area??? Jez
Yea Jeza, I bought it last November from a guy (Nick). I only wish I got more details about his history with the car, as far as I can tell it did some time up in Queensland and he had it for 6 years I think.
Big job there Andrew, look forward to seeing the progress.
I hit the shed on Sunday with the plan to remove the front quarters and nose. Well 25 nuts later the guards are still holding firm! I have one nut left that is rusted in, so will have to cut it off but I lack power in the shed atm.
I want to remove the engine, gearbox, lpg system and put the front panels back on to get her blasted and primed before winter arrives.
Been weeks since I have worked on the van. I did manage to drive past the shed this weekend and get the chasis number, plus some pics of the headlining strip.
Must hire a handyman to do the stuff around the house so I have time to work on the Sandman.
