Austral HJ - Project

Your old mans clearly wasn’t a stock order Sandaro, being 308 and the intermittent wipers (although perhaps they could be dealer fitted?).
Your in an awesome position knowing your old mans has been in the family since new and it’s unmolested.

Dwell wipers would have been factory fitted in HJ as they were part of the wiring harness, unlike HX-WB which had a plug and could be dealer fitted.

My wife’s mother has an Indy Orange HG GTS Monaro that they have owned since buying it new in 1970, even it is not totally unmolested as the orange houndstooth trim frayed and the seats were re-trimmed in the 90’s in black vinyl as they couldn’t get the cloth.

I have a 75 HJ Sandman van with 308 and 4 speed, no dwell wipers on mine and I have factory aircond. And limited slip diff.
