    40th Birthday for my HQ sandman

    This is the result of hard effort over the past 4 years. It was purchased in Jan 2010, it is a March 74 Sandman. It was this March 2014 that the club plates were fitted, hence the birthday title. I've tried to keep the car as original as possible with a few of my own personal touches. I think there is about 15 non standard items. Hope the photo's speak for themselves, and I'm now free of the shed for a while now.

    A beautiful restoration job, a real credit to you. If there were a thousand item's non original, it's "your" van to love and enjoy.
    Let the rivet counter's worry about "non original", while they compare id plate number's.Happy 40th Birthday!

    Cheers.
