That is a sweet looking van Hainzy thanks for the link on your build. What is the actual colour of the interior, seats etc and who did the re trimming of the seats and bits for you they look fantastic?
It is 60V but he has the wrong dashpad. Basically the same as my Prem in the photo I put up except Kingswood trim. Note that yours is Belmont/Holden trim being a HJ. HX-HZ Sandman got the Kingswood spec trim.
Yep as Byron points out; my interior certainly isnt perfect! It looks pretty good, but in reality, I had to vinyl spray the console and the door trims as I couldnt get good chamois ones at the time and got sick of waiting to try and score some on ebay. They came up OK though. The dashpad is wrong, (I think), because it has the air con vents in it. The original had been in the tamworth sun for 30+ years and had more cracks in it than Mr Burns face! The carpet is just a dark green that i got from one of the suppliers. Cant remember if it was knox or trufit. But no one was making the covert. The seats are the right colour i think, but are out of a premier I think, as they have the cloth inserts. More comfortable than vinyl anyway i reckon...Originally Posted by seavan
Stuff is out there if youre prepared to gets bits from wherever you can.
Also dont discount painting bits up with vinyl spray. You can get some really fantastic results if you take your time and do it properly.
My torana has a sienna interior which is nearly impossible to source. Heres a couple of pics below. The console, the b pillar vinyls, the vinyl door tops, and the seat backs are all painted with sienna vinyl paint, i had made up into pressure packs. The seats were retrimmed with bits i got from another bloke who had stuff dyed up in america. Some parts of the seats are the original material and some are new. The door trims are the original ones but I had them put on new backing boards and replaced the carpet. The carpet is just a pretty close match i got from trufit. No one who sees it can believe that a lot of it is hand sprayed. It works pretty well.
My dream is to find a later HJ Kingswood Sandman ute in L31 M41 with a 2214-65A trim line (failing that 2214-60A). Love Sienna trim!
Gee Im glad you chose two projects with rare colours,your a braver person than me! I thought the sienna colour was pretty rare as there is a pair of bucket seats in really good condition in sienna on flea bay for $250 and no one has touched them. The same with some door trims,again no one has touched them. I have been reading and trying to get my head around the trims and belmont or kingswood but I think Im more of a visual learner,I need to see pics to understand. Everytime Im on this site (daily) I learn more and more, and the help from members is amazing! It staggers me though how much trims change even in the same model they then change during the month of build.

Your torries looking great to Hainzy
How's vinyl paint hold up, Hainzy? My van is 60A and I'll probably have to spray some things.
Vinyl paint is great. Ive had mine done for years, with kids climbing over the console etc and never really had a problem. Make sure you specifically ask for vinyl paint when you get stuff made up, as obviously its specific for the purpose, but its very good. I was told that a lot of stuff from the factory is plastic or vinyl that's sprayed anyway. Just a more professional process though I guess.
