What I got for my money:

More pics to follow as I get them.
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.
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
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.
