HJ Sandman restoration project

[sandykale]

Hey everyone im new to the forum, i found out last friday when i went to sell my hj ute that it was a sandman shell on a early melbourne chassis to my shock o, i contacted the previous owner an he confirmed the body was a sandman but unfortunately for me the tags went missing when his brother had it, it has front an rear factory console mounts and all panels underneath 2 colours its mandarin red, just wanted some feedback, is it worth restoring back to a sandman ute? or should i move it along to someone with sandmans who could use it?

Does anyone on here have a mandarin red sandman ute i could have a look at some photos of?

You'll never get Sandman money for it without the tags so if you were to restore it would be as a replica basically. Someone might give you a bit extra for it as is if they need to reshell their Sandman ute, although usually the guys with a spare set of tags are the guys who try to get everything as cheap as possible.

In saying that, it's a good ute with good gear. Get what you can and buy a sedan or wagon to do up so you can take the family with you.
