Sandman replica

Keep an eye out for a HJ or HX grille at swap meets, make it more authentic looking as a replica.

Looks awesome Jerry, thought it looked great the way you bought it, but those changes are an improvement. There was a similar HJ colour of Casino Blue, but I think its a bit darker.

Nice van, ford colour or not.

Question... how do you get it registered without a heater/demister? The engine bay looks huge without the heater box.

Do the black inside the headlight surrounds as well!

Hey Rob. I was just lucky they didn't realise the heaters were missing. And I thought about painting the headlights and I think the twin lights look good black...just not sure about the single lights.

IMGP3434.jpgTrust me Jerry, the single ones (Monaro's had 'em) look good with the black treatment.

I have always favoured the 'single' front...only coz every man and their dog puts quad fronts on. Single with the front spoiler looks killer

Me thinks with the right colour stripe this would look even better Jerry
Maybe the DY4 stripe in the HZ range

Mate, what's got your knickers in a bunch?
I know Joe, great guy. I took the photo, I got his permission..... Using his van as an example to explain my meaning to Jerry.
Chill out.

Since when do you need permission to take a photo of someone's car? The way I see it, the more pics around of your car the more people like it...

Joe was nice enough to invite me over to his place, go for a cruise and discuss his build..... We're both fans of the protourer builds. He doesn't do the social media thing and asking for permission was just pure courtesy.
