Top score. Something different! I reckon it will look great

Oh I need a cigarette after looking at that...

Wow great score. Absolutely love this colour in the Q. I would probably turn from my love of HJ's and HZ's for a windowless Q in this colour. The front gutter looked fairly bad but came with another van as a donar from memory? Well done, bargain - goes to show that they still exist. Cheers, Jeza

[mr.jones]

wow hard to imagine the van being around back then do you have a link to where you saw it

think i will definitely go down the path on a factory resto or as close to possible

this has been on my mind all day while at work today so first thing when i got home was straight to the shed
and have found 3 different parts with the orchid paint
so what next is there a data base i can get a hold of to confirm its identity Attachment 10684Attachment 10685Attachment 10686

Good start, indicates the body most likely belongs to the tags. Being metallic and a 4spd means most likely a Sandman, but it still needs some more confirmation before you spend bulk funds on it. GREAT HQ colour BTW.

I'm not sure. I always thought it was one of the colours that looked quite dark in low light and quite bright in the direct sunlight.
