Hey people, long time viewer of the site, now the time has come to participate.
I came across this van at a mates property near Narrabri. It's been sitting in its current location for around 3 years, and prior to that sitting in someone else's shed for over 8 years out near Pilliga.
So because of these locations, the van has minimal rust from what I have been able to see.
Some of the details of the van:
1979 HZ Kingswood Panel van in Jasmine yellow (very faded) no windows, no sunroof.
253 V8
Column auto
Yellow needle GTS dash
That's about it.
I don't plan on making this a replica Sandman. I would rather restore it as it was, a Kingswood in its factory Jasmine yellow with a 253. I would though prefer a manual transmission floor shift, most likely a 5 speed.
And I want it lowered over some 15x7 & 15x8 GTS style steel wheels.
There is a lot of work ahead of me, and I would like to tackle as much of it myself.
Any way, it will be a slow project as i have little experience, and a young family, but I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time.
Here is one picture, I will add more tonight when I get on the home computer.
