Thanks, which is on the to do lit first for you?
First on my to do list is to get a shed at the new place. Everything is on hold till that fateful day. But when that happens, the body is ready to come off the chassis. It will probably sit in the corner for a while and I'll focus on the chassis rebuild, then drive train.
Go hard wombat...big jobLooking forward to seeing its progress

Wow! That is a pretty good sized patch panel to fit!
I look at some of the build photos on other forums of vehicles like the 70's falcons, which seem to be able to disolve to almost nothing before your eyes - a lot worse than (and structural around the pillars etc) our Holdens of the same vintage, and I reckon we get the better deal by far. In your case I can see what you're doing with the ute/van seam and am immediately thankful I had a relatively easy run with my ute. Mine only needed very minor patches and some very minor metal work around the left cowl and windscreen recess - certainly nothing structural.
It is really good to see the lengths that people will go to to rescue something that means something to them! Good onya for going hard at it and I take my hat off to you!

Hi all
I,m wanting to buy a HQ sandman and will consider anything. If you hear of anything please let me know
Go and look on Gumtree, and buy it (the gunmetal grey ute). You won't find a better value HQ Sandman anywhere.
I spotted that one and agree about the expense to restore ( the 39E Chestnut would take a bit of getting used to ). Probably should have mentioned that I would prefer a panel van. Early days yet
I have one, I should do the usual ebay sell.
"One Hq panelvan, 1973 could be a sandman, (yes I know but trying to sell to HQcumber here), needs a little work but one owner driven on sundays to church, some rust but easy fix, ()original 308 4 speed. Just needs a little love to bring it back to pristine condition.
Yea right!!!!
