    HDT Replica Van

    After clearing a few other projects out of the way I have made a start on my HDT van project this weekend. A mate and I removed the front apron and rad support and pulled the motor and gearbox out of the parts van so I can start tidying bits and pieces up to insert in the good van. Will pull the diff out next weekend and list the rolling shell on Ebay.

    i have the correct bull bar that you need for the replica. It would be very hard to find... u can have for $100, and thats mainly because i will have to drive around and take it to a depot and fill out con notes and its time consuming,

    308mate,
    The van I'm replicating was a Sandman that HDT rally team used to service and tow rally cars arround with in the late 70's-early 80's. So basicly a sign written Sandman with roof rack and bullbar. Adam I'll PM you regarding the bar as I have a mate in Perth that can do the leg work for me in regard to the running arround to freight depots. That would be a much easier option than sitting down and drawing the bullbar up and fabricating it myself.
    It will be something different in the service area compared to all the 4wd utes and old banger trucks that you usually get at a rally! Hopefully it will stir some of the old timers memory and they will tell a few stories about that period of rallying when the events where real adventures and the crews true characters!
