New Van (for me), First Post, Lots of Questions, (HZ Sandman)

Yeah Raeme the more I think about it, slate black interior seems like a good decision. Hopefully puts a bit of value back into it, and looks good too!
Thanks for your input mate.

If you went on eBay there is a green HZ sandman van on there first page. It was posted on here last week. There is some nice shots of slate HZ interior front and hood lining gives you an idea of just how good it looks. Cheers

I have 18v vinal and black hood lining. I've just retrimed it as original and I don't notice it being hot as I thought it would be. Saturday it was 38 and i parked in a car park for 3 hours and it didn't bother me. I do think the tinted windows helped. I'm happy with the vinal, much better than my postie bike which after 10 minutes in the sun will fry your bum. Your choice Will but it is much better than I imaged it woul be.

Yeah good advice, plus i'm in Tas so 38 degrees, i think not. Getting windows tinted now, so hopefully that'll help. Yeah the black looks nice on that green one Raeme, will make that happen.

Thanks much

That is the firewall number. Chassis number will be on the ADR plate on the driver's side. Something like AHZ0xxxxS

**willturfdog** · 19-12-2013, 05:41 PM

Yeah getting myself a bit confused with which numbers on what plates, there is one that says AHZ06910S, but thats on passenger side plate (possibly), can't check the car in person at the moment but will do as soon as i can.

Funnily enough the Chassis number will also be on the Chassis (Drivers side front rail near the steering box).

I didn't bother in case its been changed, better to look on the ID plate.

Being a Pagewood build you should have a number also pressed/stamped into the firewall (it is not a plate).
and does the AHZ06910S match the actual number in the chassis rail?

**willturfdog** · 19-12-2013, 10:27 PM

Yeah the chassis stamp matches the one on the plate, but I'll check for another stamp when i can.

I read on here that there is some sort of register for the vehicles that are turning up, any idea of how many are thought to be out there?
