    Thanks Sandaro,
    The car is fairly untouched, even though the column has been replaced the sellers explanation made sense. However after saying that, the Vehicle Production Report from Ben Stewart showed that the van was also ordered with power steer, which is no longer fitted.
    Who knows why these things happen, but pwr steer is an odd thing to remove.

    my HX sandman van had a tree shift column when i got it. previous owner said they went to a local mechanic and thats all he could come up with and it has to be couriered from the city. a very common thing to see in these old girls

    Really! that's great.
    I travelled around 750k's return to first look at my van, during the trip up I had pretty much talked myself out of buying it, until I saw it.
    I really wanted a HZ and this one had windows, poxy HJ and it was yellow. The old fella I bought it off (nearly 80) didn't know how to send pic's via text or email, so I was flying blind and my imagination was running rampant.
    As soon as I saw it, I couldn't believe my luck. I had plans of hearing it run (hadn't been run in 9 years) before I talked money but that went straight out the window.
    I just checked to make sure the engine spun by hand, but the authenticity checks did take long.
    To find an original paint Brisbane built Sandman, I was stoked.

    I liked it with the jelly beans, but I think the GTS rims look even better.
