Is that the one Rob (at Tumut) had??

Yeah mate,

I originally bought it to Tumut from Canberra, Rob bought it about 2 after me and then bought it back about 3 or 4 later, he is pretty good mates with my brother, that's how i saw it again and now i have it.
Nostagia's a bitch because there is no way i would take on a project like this if there wasn't a connection there

Those vacationer roof racks and HQ wagon rear bar must have been popular. The 1 x owner HZ XX7 I know of has them too.

If it was me I'd lose the HQ wagon rear bar and put the originals back on.

G'day Adam,

Apparently it was originally a Sandman, put the numbers up on the "Is this a Sandman" thread and Stickthis replied it was 99% a Sandman, the owner before me back in the 80's said he hit a roo going across the Nullabor and put the twin headlight front on instead of the single one, it was (will be) a 308 m21.

Cheers

G'day,
was given a couple of pictures of the van at a show about '81 by Greg Mercer, he built a show van called Invader 2001

I know it's not everyones taste but i reckon it doesn't look too bad, it's not how it will be restored but was good for it's time.

The rear bumper is gooooone, have some small ones to put back on, the roof rack is only sitting there to get it out of the way, it had a smaller one on it before but probably won't put one back on.
