Our red van was found in a shed near Wagga, we have all the manuals, and the wallet, buy cert. and we are third owners, original number plates as well. All we did was paint her, re stripe, recover seats, and door trims, and paint the wheels. All panels are original, and running gear untouched, but checked over. IN fact under the bonnet has not been painted or touched, except the air cleaner was painted because a rat weed on it and rusted it through. We took this picture outside the place she was purchased in 1978.
I think she is in the running for best sandman, although we love Yellow van, she has been rebuilt.
I am taking her over to Forbes to the car museum, she will take pride of place in that great museum next to a HX LE Monaro. They should look good together I can get her out for runs whenever I want. I am a bit funny about this, because I feel like I am taking her to a boarding school..lol but this will free up a space for another car which has no home ATM, and she will be able to be looked at and enjoyed by all who visit the museum
