Not being a Sandman and having the wrong chassis just means you don't have to worry about correct parts or whatever. Just do what you want with it.

Look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Thanks mate! Yeah, I'm still undecided at the moment, but either way it will end up looking like a Sandman I wouldn't mind if it was a genuine Sandman though, not only cause it would be awsome to own a genuine one but because a resto on it to factory specs is a challenge, and I'm picky as and love the attention to detail that those resto's require...

Cheers! I can't wait to get started on her! All I can say is I have alot of friends that are shearers, truck drivers and other jobs that takes them to the farms.. They pass the message and the details to me, and it goes from there.. and sometimes you just see something sitting there and go and enquire, and they'll open there shed to show you what they have!
Its good, cause most people out here have the 'lend a hand when possible' attitude to every aspect of life, often you end up becoming good friends with them! haha

Thats why I let them offer the price! I never make first offer - unless they insist I do - that way, I don't offend them, and it lets you know how desperate they are to get rid of it...
