    HJ Sandman "barn find"

    I've started a new thread in this column to get some help on an xx7 sandman I've found.
    It's an original L31 M41 GU4
    I'm having trouble putting pics up of the tags though. The icon is faded with a red cross on it and I can't press it. What am I doing wrong??

    Speaking of Barn Finds, I was told of a HJ panel van (sandman) parked outside an old house in a country town near Clare S.A. I was told the owner would not sell however this thing has been parked under a peppercorn tree for the last 6 plus years. Being a rainy cold day I thought I would take a drive and see for myself.

    See the pictures below......... What a waste! Its a HJ 253 M20 Jamaca Lime, tan interior and the hood lining is there and in really good condition

    Such a shame, this isnt restored before its too late!

    IMG_20150726_131926.jpgI have been told that the guy doesnt want to sell, but I shall try to track the guy down and ask myself in person. It would be great to have a HJ ute and van.

    I have a picture of the van but file too big, lets try again.IMG_20150726_131851.jpg

    Wow, that has been there for quite a while. Must have a rock solid reason for leaving it there like that.

    Yes it is. It's just parked there and I have even gone there and waved cash under his nose, but he says he is going to restore it. It has sat there for 8 years now and it's such a waste. Matching 253 and 4 speed still in car. Originally light green and tan interior. Super frustrating, because it will never get restored.

    The other way you can post pics mate is to just start a photobucket account. Doesnt cost anything and super easy.
