    Maybe a HQ....

    Ok, A mate of mine has told me where there is a HQ (not a Sandman :( sadly) but it is near here and may go cheap. Can anyone tell me what the gremlins of the HQ are/were so I can look out for them specifically? or are the generally the same as the HJ-WB's? Sills, plenums, floor pans etc....thanks folks!

    Same as others. You just can't legally put retractable seat belts into them (without Engineer's report). HQ are the same as HJ-HX with chassis cracking issues.

    You can get them made for HQ Monaros so no reason why not for utes and vans. HQ's don't have the re-inforced hole in the pillar for the HJ-WB retractables. People put them in but you are not supposed to create new seat belt attachments without Engineering sign off.

    For sure Wil. Id bet my last dollar that you are stoked with them-and your vans a real Sandman! Im not overly picky about full blown "authenticy", if I owened a Sandman or Munro etc then I would be but otherwise if I get this HQ Im looking at then Im thinking of a "mixture" of models (Q-Z) eg colours, stripes, interior colours and options etc just so It will be individual. but those belts.....they look expensive, but worth it considering the fact that you have to engineer the upper bolt hole!
