    No problems HJSandman! I hope so too. I'm looking forward to having my HJ bought back to showroom condition sometime in the near future. I can't be certain it will be complete by next year though. I have an early Bedford Coupe Ute project up my sleeve first. . . haha ;)

    would be great to see more photos of your van online.

    Cheers guys. I'll take a few good pictures of it in the next few days and post it up in the HJ section. It was fortunate enough to be sitting in wrap in the original owners shed since 91'. He was an electrician and bought a larger vehicle so he sat his Sandman on blocks in his shed in Wogga Wogga, where it stayed until late 2008 when I bought from him.

    I went to the Van Nats in 2008 at Mt Gambier in S.A. I drove a 2,000km round trip for it from Albury/Wodonga in my Sandman over 10 days along the "Great Ocean Road". The whole trip was a blast with the missus for us trying to relive our youth. Car didn't miss a beat. Road trip I'll never forget. Was disappointed with the quality of cars there though.
    So where is next years Van Nats? Brissy I hope.

    There are a number of possibilities but nothing definate.
    It has a 85% chance of being in Vic again.
