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
