Sorry Mauser, I don't have any, 20 odd years ago I really didn't know what I had, I knew it was a sandman but not how unique that actually made her. I only bought her for the GTS guards and the GTS dash the rest was headed for scrap
It's Just bloody lucky I came up with a hair brained scheme to chop her up into a convertible ute (in my defense it was the '90s) and thank god, never followed through with it. she sat rotting at mum and dads, and was nearly scrapped when they sold their house, it was around that time I finally worked out what I had and now shes apart and in the shed waiting for her turn.
The interior shots wouldn't have been much good any way she came with a bench seat, and standard wheel, the console gone and rear bracket hacked out the hood lining was badly water damaged from the 2 sunroofs, and most of the inner rail that supports the roof, and the bows go into was rotted away, and the top of the quarters/ ute tub was also rotted through. It didn't look too bad from the outside, however it was a different story on the inside. Now after 20 years ....aside from the 2 holes in the top she's pretty much knackered! Being a sheet metal guy and having some even better body restoration contacts, my current plan is to do a body swap, then reconstruct everything Sandman as per factory, spot welded where and how it should be, so hopefully even the well trained eye will have trouble telling the difference. I'll probably try to find a prem to donate the seats, console, interior light switches etc, so I can use all factory parts.
Edit: BTW Mauser, she's a 253 - M20!
Cheers, Scott.
