Sandman camping at Lake Elizabeth - Dec 2012.jpg
wow, its good to hear a bit of history about it. I'd like to hear more! I bought it from the girl who reckoned she'd had it for about 10 or 12 years.
I've given it a bit of a 'tidy up' and removed the rust from seams, sills and rear quarters by a mate of mine. He did a great job matching and blending the paint through repairs and also resprayed the roof as it had a lot of peel. He also resprayed the black outs which aren't right but I'll live with it for the time being... My plan is to enjoy using for the next couple of years, then remove the windows, put a pair of GTS guards on (I know they’re not a factory option, but I love them and have got a great original pair in the shed) and then complete paint job.
I've put some GTS rims back on, put stripes on and have been looking for some original seats to replace the Honda seats. I will leave it on gas and leave the 308 and auto as well. I don’t have any plans for it in the short term other than the seats, perhaps some door trims and putting in a small removable dickie seat and reverse camera/GPS that I got for xmas.
I haven't really got any more good pics at the moment but will take some. I'll post a couple of pics from when we took it camping last week.
Like to hear a bit more about it if there is any more you know about it? Sounds like it spent the last 20 years around Canberra. Its a Brisbane built one so I assume that it would have been sold through a Qld or Northern NSW dealership, as I would guess that anywhere else in NSW or ACT would have been manufactured in Sydney? Cheers, Jez
