Looks great you have done a nice job on the interior tidy up, look forward to seeing the van painted....is it Madeira Red? We are about to embark on the interior of our yellow van, it had the windscreen put back in today, Wed the auto electricians are checking all the wiring, then we can put the dash back in...Seats and door trims still being recovered, so should be on the road in mid Jan....

It is obviously 9/77 build, if it is Sydney or Adelaide build it will be the earliest HZ Sandman recorded so far from either of those plants. If it is Melbourne built I have 3 x earlier examples, all of which have double digit chassis numbers ie AHZ000xxM

i dont know if this helps mate

i checked over a few things,aparantly original motor was 308,had queensland plates but think the car was from victoria area
im positive was first hz sandmans that were released as i was told from the original owner
i have the orignal manual book for it that shows where it was purchased il have a look tomorow and find some more details
hope the pics help

Yes just looked at the paintcodes on the forum 1927 is jasmine yellow, that number was on one of our vans so checked....you could look at my thread blackouts, and that will show you what your van would have looked like in the day.

thanks will have a look through,any idea where to find how many hz sandmans were made in that colour?
i really want to paint it hz windsor blue when its done,all my mates keep saying i should get it done in the orignal colour

G'day Hamish.
My HZ is supposed to be windsor blue, i painted mine Red which i really like the look of. At the end of the day if your not going to restore back to complete original and you like the Blue paint it that. The colour Windsor Blue looks really good on those vans.
Cheers Chris

One thing I can advise you on. Is DONT let your mates tell YOU what YOUR car should be or should have.

Everyones car should be a representive of themself. Not of your mate. Enjoy your van. Build it how YOU want it. I costomed a HZ Sandman ute to the point it would be a hassel to change back. Its your car mate.

Windsor Blue is a great colour by the way! Buckskin trim is nice too will look great with the blue!

Byron I have this van recorded the PSN is H935940.

As Jason said it's your van, paint it the way you want. Looks like a good project

Will look good when finished.
What happened to the L\H front rim that you had on it in the first pic??

Also there is a Tuxedo black van over here that has been painted orange, so do whatever colour you want.
