Well done mauser. Congrats on getting a rare 'real' sandman. I had a long hard look at that one on car sales over the past few months, and if it wasn't for my wedding and the 'HJ' I have in the shed I was going to buy it.
Really happy someone with a passion for Sandman's bought it and plans on restoring it. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress and end result.

im starting to get in the market.. just would like to know how you went finding the vehicle as in was it in the trading post etc.. and if you wouldnt mind.. how much you paid?
I think it was you looking for one in a post a while back, I pointed that one out to you as a steal.

picked up this for $19 from ebay close to home. Has the taillight section for TwoTees HZ Sandman and the powersteering box and other bits for me. Getting the panelbeater to draw sections over it and Ill cut it up for rust repair.

Thanks Byron, I was going to ask the panel beater but the driver side isnt much good anyway. Oh well that's the fun huh! Searching for the right bits. I dug around a bit and need a section of the sill as well. Wont know until I bare metal the shell anyway. :-)

They would be if you are planning on putting a wagon full rear bar on though..
