I'd do a HJ replica of the Mad Max van first! Looks like a pretty easy job, just a tailgate mural and a HJ Statesman front.

Just go driving inland NSW. None of it is common today, but certainly not rare by any means. If I can still find Monaros inland you shold be able to find 20 x HQ-WB vans for every Monaro!

It's a photo of the HDT service van that they used in the late 70's early 80's when Holden had a rally program. The bloke who's collection it came from believes it was shot on the Repco Round Australia in 1979. HDT used the van as the workshop run about and it was also used as a service vehicle when they ran Gemini's in the Australian Rally Championship back in the day. When Castrol came on board in 80-81 to sponsor the twin cam Gemini's in the ARC the van was redone in Castrol colours.
Have about 80% of the parts I need to bring the 6 cylinder donor HZ up to spec so I hope to get the car off to the beaters in the second half of the year once I have cleared a Commodore rally car off the list!
It will definitely be the coolest service vehicle in the rally service area when it's done! I am hoping to get a few photo's of the van with the Bell/Ferguson/Boddy MHDT Commodore from the Repco when it's done.

Have you read the article from a few months ago in AMC that gave a bit of a write up on those vans?

So please enlighten me about the sponsorship of Bell/Ferguson/boddy MHDT, what do these stand for...am interested as I may have a contact in the Bell side of things if it is Helmets....

My mate found a rust free WB van the other day but it has rear windows. I know of 2 x others up there, I think one is a 308 HZ so it may be a Sandman. There was one near my mrs's old's place too. And a few WB utes as well.
