I thought I already had this on here but couldn't find it. Could be a double up.
It definitely doesn't look like much at the moment.

Good bones! It'll take a while, but it'll happen!
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
holy shit man (no van man) what the F45k do you plan on doing with than inner sill?!!!!
that looks like a pretty large job. great combo though
are you a first class welder by chance? ;)

Agreed it is pretty stuffed. I can't weld to save myself but I know a brave panel beater.

Can you buy replacement inner sills?
I've had a look online and can't find anything so I'm guessing not.
might try these guys, ive never seen inner sills.

i had a fairly original windowless HJ sandman van and when i struck a similar sight i got scared. i too thought my beater was brave but he refused to finish the job after seeing the inners. he said it was a death trap and he wouldn't be caught dead driving it. he left me to my own devices after doing 1x inner lower rear 1/4. suffice to say it was moved along.

I'm no structural engineer, but with the full chassis I would have thought that repairs are done to the body of a ute or van would have less significance structurally wise than a sedan or wagon of this series
If you are serious about fixing a Sandman body just get a donor body for replacement sections. Lots of work though and you can save serious $ by unpicking spotwelds yourself - you'll be very good at it by the time you are finished! You'll find a half decent WB van body for sensible $.
I've actually got a windowless Wb van in the wind. Have only seen pics though.
It's such a shame, I'd sacrifice the white hj van if it was windowless.

I'm really not sure what to do with the HZ , it's obvious it wouldn't be easy to move on in its current condition. But it doesn't owe me a lot either.
The chassis is ready to reassemble, all blasted and ppainted.
All new suspension, ball joints etc .
