HJ sandman ute restoration

[Dr Terry]

Yes GM P&A was the name for late 1974 onwards.

I would say that an outback pack or heavy duty radiator option also included the overflow bottle.

I'll check my literature.

Hi all my old sandman enthusiasts. I received a birthday cheers from the forum and it reminded me of the group. The sad day i had to sell my ute is a story within itself. I had to move for work in the midst of COVID july 2020. I tried to get another job but no one was hiring so that meant i had to sell up and move interstate. Not only interstate but remote south west QLD. As a result i completed the ute two days before i moved and never got the chance to register or drive it! My intention was never to sell and it spent years restoring it as close as original as possible with some genuine holden add ons.
I learned a great deal from all of you throughout the restoration and for that i am grateful to the forum. As the knowledge here is invaluable.
I am sad the the car has gone but i’m so proud to have rescued a classic holden back to its former glory for owners. To enjoy for many years to come. Keep up the amazing work and keep supporting the brand and each other!

It's sad to hear that you never got to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. The only plus is you probably sold at a good time money wise. Hopefully you made some profit out of it.
