    HZ Van Project

    Hi Everyone

    I thought I had better post some pics of my project.
    I picked this up in December 2017.
    I believe a roadworthy was attempted in 2006.
    It failed, went into the shed & waited for me.

    I've done quite a bit to it since getting it home.
    I will post some updates later.

    Out of the factory she was a plain old HZ Holden Van.
    October 1978 on the ID tag.
    Not Sandman, not even Kingswood.
    202 with 3 on the tree.
    In that daggy commercial tan beige colour.
    I have heard that that colour may have been SEC, PMG, Board of Works, Telecom or Gas & Fuel.????
    Don't know who to believe but I have a theory that Holden just had a Commercial Fleet colour that they gave to these big utilities.

    It has been got at a bit over the years.
    It now has a 1972 (HQ) 253 with a Trimatic.
    That's the way i will keep it I think.
    The Cragar's will stay but most likely get some paint as they are rusty.
    I've put GTS flutes in the guards & will paint HX Aquarius.
    Not planning any Sandman stripes.
    It had Commodore buckets but they are now gone & an original bench will go in.

    Just wanted to share my progress & utilise this valuable resource as I am going to have lots of questions for the experts down the track.

    Cheers
