Geez Robbo don't let that stop you from owning another Sandman. I had a new house in Noosaville with only a double garage back in 1999 and completely stripped my old HJ Sandman ute, bought a HX ute from Eumundi wreckers which was completely stripped, re-painted and rebuilt with the parts from the HJ..... all in that double garage. The neighbour wasn't overly impressed with me hammering and grinding till 10:00pm but I kept it to a minimum working after 5:00pm so only a couple of late nights. I also did the whole lot in 4 weeks as I needed the car for work....

Seriously mate, I'm a wood butcher and learn't about restoring cars from watching at panel shops, asking lots of dumb questions and having a go.....

You are half way there being a shit diverter as you should be pretty good with an oxy and welding/brazing.
