New Van (for me), First Post, Lots of Questions, (HZ Sandman)

Not sure on the top bar, will check it out later.

Where is the best place to check for the chassis number? Where or what is the firewall? I work away so cannot get to vehicle straight away, but will check this out when I next get a chance and put the number up. That'd be great.

Chassis number on the Safety Compliance plate where the build month is. Firewall number at about 11 o'clock when looking at the heater box. Will look like 12345S

Not wrong there!!! Why would you change GTS mirrors for base model ones?



Frosty.... No such thing as a GTS panelvan or ute mate.... Vans and utes were Sandman or nothing.... Sedans were GTS.

don;t upset Frosty :(

Dunno, but they look like remote adjustable mirrors to me?

looks like a standard mirror on the passenger side to me..... Your good if you can see a remote mirror on the drivers side which is the only side remote mirrors were available for.

Will,
Great looking van though, see if you can get hold of some old Van Wheels or Custom vans and trucks magazines for ideas on decking out the rear. It's your van, deck it out to suit your taste....

Yeah found a number in that pattern, and its on the chassis too, so suppose thats it: 06910S

Thanks again.

Hence the reason I asked the question looking at the left hand mirror. That left hand mirror looks different to a standard Kingswood mirror (especially the mount) and I cannot see the RH one. Pretty simple question really, that is all it was.

Looks good Wil, you will have a great time doing her up. Mate my HZ is a slate black interior as well and I changed it all to velour, now it's your van so you do what you want and what makes you happy, I wished I hadn't changed it now if I had time again and more free spending money I would put it back vinyl. There just seems something too new and modern feeling with velour. But as said its yours mate and it's what you like.

Just to settle this one guys when i got the car....there was no side mirror at all. Made merging interesting, that's about it.

Yeah Raeme the more I think about it, slate black interior seems like a good decision. Hopefully puts a bit of value back into it, and looks good too!
Thanks for your input mate.
