    Your girlfriend and better judgement need to shut the hell up. If you've seen the prices adamperth reckons he gets for parts over there then it sounds like a goldmine.

    yes when we find utes, or any form of holden HQ-WB on the side of the road, we try and buy nosecones, guards dashes, and what ever looks to be a good spare, if we crash our van, (heaven forbid), it will only become more difficult to source parts...just looking at ebay would be an Indication of what people are paying for rare parts now.....

    HX Mandarin Red Sandman Ute finished, and club registered

    1) go get it.
    2) don't tell girlfriend what your doing.
    3) tell your mates its like a garden Gnome, and they can each have it for a couple of weeks until the heat dies off.
    4) then bring it home
    5) Sell HQ V8 accel. linkage set up for $200 and your all square,....


    if its all too much, and its no go... perhaps you could consider this ute going to the holden rescue haven here in rockingham!!! lol
