The new arrival.
What I have worked out thus far:
09/1975 Build, HJ.
Elizabeth Plant built,
HC 179 engine
Three Speed manual Trans
2.78:1 Salisbury rear axle
Durham Beige Duco
Fawn Gazelle Interior
What I got for my money:
The van in the pic above, 253 V8 in the engine bay, 1 x pair bucket seats, prem front, HJ prem dash, spare prem cluster, two pairs of doors, spare upper tailgate-with "T" handle, two front bumper bars, spare pair of guards, spare bonnet, second HX van minus motor, box, and front clip and upper n lower tailgates.
More pics to follow as I get them.
Will be a 173 not a 179. And there is no way you'd have a 2.78:1 banjo in a HQ behind a 173 manual, it'll be 3.55.Originally Posted by Rico
Great project..would you be interested in selling the spare set of upper tail gate hinges, Cheers!
HZ Persian Sand Mk2 Sandman (under full restoration)
HX Chamois Monaro GTS
i have a mate who may buy the second van, if he doesnt, I will part out what I can for sure.
Yes I realised the 173/9 was a typo. And I actually thought the code read GU7 it is in fact GV7, so yes a 3.55 Ratio
What's the condition of the second shell?
Goat, I only had a quick look at it, looked top be reasonable, the lid on it was ok, bit of panel work required at the rear right wheel arch.
@Absinth Could you do this dash repair?

Got a huge hole in mine, love the clean look.
difficult, the radio section on a standard HJ fascia has a textured finish. I may have an uncut one in the shed, will have a look next weekend.
