    What happens when you find a HQ XX7 Kingswood ute that has been used as a builders ute and has a few dents and moderate rust????

    At least we are not in the position XY/XW people are who start from a bare shell in a paddock and buy it "one piece at a time".

    You buy it and fix it, or find a good shell for it if rust is too bad, unless it is an Elizabeth or Pagewood with BODY number, then you fix it. Or you wreck it out to keep other Sandmans alive! In Nicky's case he doesn't want a Sandman, just a van.

    Some of us are Mauser, through our own choice though


    This is my van when i 're-found' it



    This is it this month, would anyone buy it if they found it in someones backyard like that, the reason i did was because i owned it back about '87 and thought it was dead, (close to)

    It's good to get a guide on what people think is reasonable for bodywork and paint bacuse i think as many vans should be rescued as possible, it's only going to get harder and more expensive from here.

    Oh really Jen. I reckon from the sounds of it, there wouldn't be any more Sandmans left in Wogga Wogga anymore :P.
