    They had a heap more GTS fascia's, I picked through them for the best ones.... they all have the radio hole butchered, some are cracked and broken through to the clock hole. $20ea I couldn't go past them. I might get some more when I go back down, they have a heap of consoles as well.

    If they have a hz tan console, or buckskin one we can paint which isn't damaged, could you let me know, if you think it is a good price...and you have checked it out, can you grab us one as the one in the yellow van is a bit broken at the back....

    It all depends on how much they cost me to buy, how much time I have to spend repairing them and how hard they are to clean up.

    I've only restored one console so far and that one is for my van.

    What would the pricing be?
    Their HQ ones aren't cheap and they only have a couple.

    This one is on Ebay at the moment....

    Sean nice score mate!!!

    Did they have gauges for all those facias??

    The restored Buckskin console. Next time your there find out what they want for it and if they are able to freight it. If so Im keen. Looks like it will be good for the HZ GTS. If not the Sandman van.

    Cheers
    Jason

    is it just my eyes or are all the warning lights in the facias missing? If so looks like I should get onto doing them! haha.

    Yeah Jason they had boxes of GTS speedo's, tacho's and the gauge clusters, I'll find out how much they all are along with the other stuff when I go back down as I was a bit short on time this trip, I only went down to look at the van bodies.

    Your eyes are fine, I got one fascia with the lenses in it and one with the lenses and moulded backing piece. Yes mate.... please get the lenses done and I'll buy quite a few.

    Agro, the radio holes are really butchered in a few of them and you would need an extra long cover plate.

    They restore them and paint them whatever colour you need, they have asked me about repairing their cracked ones. I'll find out a price for you and let you know.
