    HQish Orchid Sandmanish

    Hey crew, just joined up.

    Very nice.... I like Orchid metallic on the HQ.... actually HQ had a lot of cool metallic colours. Looks great, Mook is doing similar with his WB but he is doing a HJ replica. Keep the pic coming.

    Thanks there Vombil & Mr Absinth. I initially tried to swap this van for a HQ, but I couldn't find an appropriate candidate. Anyhow for the style of car I was after I figured it didn't matter...especially considering once I figured I wanted a street machine rather than a resto.

    Cheers \m/
