Very sad to see my old sandman in this condition......
Very sad to see my old sandman in this condition......
Here are a couple of pics of what it looked like a few weeks after i bought it.I owned it for 2 years i think almost 8 to 9 years ago.When i bought it it had a tired old VC motor in it and 4spd.I rebuilt the blue motor that was in it,i sourced a set of high comp black heads,torker manifold and i rebuilt a rotchester carby for it with the fuel line entering from the side (got it off an old chev).Was abit of a cranky 253 30/70 heatseeker cam,over 10.1 comp i think,had extractors and a full twin 2 1/4inch system.I smashed the 4spd that was in it and was lucky enough to find a trimatic setup very cheap off a mate,so i put that in.
It's in very bad shape but hopefully you can restore her to her former glory.
