G'day DN, I love what you have been able to do to rescue that Van mate. I have just got a HX PV as well and will be trying to do what you have done. I know the cost will be extreme, time will drag on, and I will never recoup the cost, but that is not important to me. This will be a car I do with my 8 year old son and 7 year old daughter, will be kept in the family till I can't walk, and will never be sold like so many of the other toys I've parted with.
Yours is a Sandman so you have one up on me haha, but I'm planning on building one fine Kingswood that anyone would love to own.
Look forward to seeing her when she's done, Dion.
