[JohnLittleJack]

I don't mind at all... Good to see you chose the HQ Pano, I think they look the nicest. Is it drivable?

[JohnLittleJack]

That is a good pair to have, I always wanted a project sandman when I was 16 but could not afford one.

im lucky my dad bought the monaro 11 years ago for $800

[JohnLittleJack]

What condition was it in... does the Monaro take priority over the Van?

Show me a photo if you can

[HQGTSbrad]

Umm the van needs to be done first, the monaro is slowly getting there

Hey Guys,

I have a HQ Panelvan in my Shed, just pulled the numbers off which follow:

Model: 80270QR
Body No: 305744-S
Trim: 1885-30B
Paint: 566-15894
Eng: L31
Trans: M21
RRAxle: GV2

3/74
GVW: 4850 LBS
Seating Cap: 2

It already had GTS Dash and GTS Guards

What do you guys make of it?

Just a slight update the body number will be 805744-S on a van from that time frame.
The 8 seems to be a bit dodgy on the stamping by that time.
I would be interested to know what the firewall stamped number is on that one, it should be up around the 11XXX S range.
Cheers Paul.

Yes HQSS spot on with the range. Does it still sound dodgy?

Sorry mate
by dodgy I was referring to the way Holden had stamped the 8 in the ID tag not your van.
If your body stamp number is in that number range it just shows that it is from the same plant and time frame as the rest of your
vans ID tag details.
Just another tick in the box really.
Cheers Paul.
