Yesterday Finally Rodney and I felt like doing something in the sheds...we bought ourselves a 4 post hoist to fit two of our sandmans in one area, to leave more space for other projects. It did take all day to assemble, between reading the instructions to Rodney I cleaned off the blue steering column, in the ute, back to black, why someone would paint it bright blue is beyond me but now it is black again...we also did the stripes and blackouts last weekend, or rather the panel shop did them..

Cool, I wish that I had a hoist like that in my shed.. All the sandys look good as well.. I really like the ute!!

i didnt know theyd opened a sandman production line in parkes

Exactley what I thought!!

Fitted up the wiper blades, now the washers have stopped working. Waiting for the console to arrive from the Gold Coast this week. Looking for the motivation to sort out the tail and brake lights, no power at this stage.

Basically the front two holes line up like they were made for it and the rear brackets we cut off and we made our own they were 40mm wide, 20mm high and 50mm long. We cut all the brackets off and welded the new brackets about half way down the vz rails.

Basically we bolted the brackets to the floor and and tac-welded them with the seat rails bolted to the front holes before welding them properly. Electric seats still work and everything...

yeah what bradie said, pretty easy once the plan was set, only down side is the passeneger seat feels too flat if you get what i mean, the drivers is fine, just adjusted the bottom cushion up so there was more angle, ideally 2 electric seats would be the go then itd be sweet as, if your allways driving it doesnt matter i spose, stuff the passenger bahahahahaha give them a milk crate, take a few photos bradie and make a new tread
