GMH Sandman documents

[wbute]

Absolute pleasure folks

Looking at the HZ sheet metal sheet.....i'm curious if anyone can decipher the 3rd column of Area Design Affected....
GMH - General Motors Holden
GMSA - General Motors South Africa
GMNZ - General Motors New Zealand
Vaux - Vauxhall
GMK - ??
GMT - ??
GMM - ??
GMP - ??

Also interesting of note is the use of the term of 'Dual headlights'. i remember Byron would use the term Quad headlights....seemed to ruffle a few feathers. Same could be said for the front 'Air Dam'...where some folks would call it a Front Spoiler. Guess it clears it up coming straight from the Generals mouth.


Anyone have any clues as to whom the signatures belong to?

Yeah I noticed the dual headlight thing too ��
I’ll take a stab with the codes, Korea, Thailand Malaysia and Pakistan.

Hopefully we find out!

Im 99% sure the blackouts are the same but HZ front apron dont think its painted black
even it is painted black it would be covered by the spoiler

[wbute]

Yeah I reckon your right. But would be nice to see the HX document too just for interest sake.

I believe that document is for the HX....note the single headlights.
HZ wouldnt have blackouts on the nose cone as Valencia mentioned.

I think that file was a generalization of what was blacked out as it was on the change over from HJ to HX. Obviously HJ didnt have door and windscreen moulds blacked out.

Good to know these things now
cheers G.

That documents has 2 different dates on it & mentions HX, HZ XX7/XU3. The dates are Feb '76 & Feb '77.

Could it be the HX document updated with the HZ changes ? E.g front apron.
