My sandman is an example of a poor candidate for restoration. It could vary well be an xu4, plus it's has a rough past so all the original features are long gone. If I was sensible I'd sell it on and find an all matching numbers car. But I always wanted a mint julep van so I leave it in the shed and slowly tinker when motivated.
haha mine's had more rebuilds than a Hollywoods actress has had procedures!!!

haha I think I have had my share of bad luck... You are right Byron. I'm definitly on a budget so I guess my perspective is different. That's why this site should inform but not critise people with different views.

My view is I could go buy a new HSV GTS but it would drop heaps more than the van will ever cost the moment I drove it away. Can't see Id be any happier bouncing down the road.
