WTB Sandman Shell

[Vombil]

They are all different too if you are talking Sandman vans. HQ have no rear headlining. HJ side strips are different to HX to WB. You cannot easily retrofit the side strips to look original. Plus if you look closely Elizabeth and Acacia Ridge van shells do have minor differences with how they are put together.
So in response to the original question buy a HX or HZ Kingswood van from the same body plant as yours if you have a HX or HZ. If it is a HJ then you need a Sandman shell to get the bits you need. Take photos of what you are doing too to prove it isn't a reshell or there is little point wasting time and $ on a resto.

so you're replacing half the van to 'keep the shell original'

i'd take a rebody using a rust free body any day of the week. I'm also guessing if ur replacing the roof the the rest of the van isn't perfect either


replacing a roof most likely will not be a cake walk
