    I've been shopping, ebay although great to find hard to get items is pretty over priced especially if you're going after something that a couple others are as well.

    These original HQ or early HJ vents cost me $2 each at the wreckers. I wonder how much I could get for them on fleBay?




    Top left vent still sealed, radio section still sealed - just need to fill the section above steering column, and I've got a piece for that already.




    The old one was hacked and twisted.




    To replace the plastic Monaro GTS badge that came with my Sandman.




    Now I can listen to the cricket or races like we were meant to! Mono and AM all the way baby :P

    Wow, there is a little more cancer in the body then you first thought by the looks of it. Are you going to fill the sun roof and window holes in? A sun roof is definately an unwanted item but I personally don't mind the bubble windows in yours. Re-wiring that harness will be lots of fun as well.....

    Nice score on the fascia, could you post or email me a close up of the radio infill from both the front and rear.

    Also noticed your door light buttons look wrong, they may have been replaced by more modern versions from another car.

    Looking good Andrew, now the fun begins..... keep the progress pics coming.

    Started the restoration of the fuel tank. Long process but rewarding.
