Of all the brilliant cars you guys have restored or rebuilt, I know which one I'd be driving the most!
Looks sweet. Sidepipes REALLY finish it off
Well done!!!
BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman
Thank you all for your kind comments. Yes this is the ducks guts of a custom stato sandman build for us and our last one I think. But all thanks to Adam who helped get it to the stage it's at with his precision panel work and all the interior paint and all paint in fact other than the malachite green. The restored chrome front was all in bits in the back when purchased and has all been buffed, polished and painted to new spec. We spent lots of hours researching and sourcing parts but really it's AdM we have to thank for its re-build. Will post pics tomorrow or after when the bonnet is on. We have a little Surprise with regards to the bonnet.

So I have just had an awesome experience by looking in the manual and have found the original owners who have photos on the wall of his garage, his wife is extatic and said he has been looking for this and wondered where it ended up. I have given her info about this forum so they can be part of the rebuild. Will post old pictures when I have some.

Salesman was my old boss Ron "Double" Cross
I bought my sandman ute about a fortnight later, I wasn't the only one starting 1979 with a new holden.

I love the wheels that were on it originally. I'm surprised that someone isn't doing that style in an 18, 19 or 20".
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
They were not with the van when we got it, so we're either sold off or Kim has them somewhere. I think they are US racers. We also didn't have the lower grill. So now I am on the hunt for one.Originally Posted by Big Rob
