Hi Innuendo,
It was a 1977 HZ Sandman, L31 with M21
I had it in shows in the Brisbane area in 1986 and 1987. ( Lawnton and Logan ). Top Street driven at all.
" Body and Soul" was written across the tail gate.
There was a large mural of a devil up the bonnet.
The fuel cap was cut out and a Cortina Fuel flap welded in to give a clean side. I moulded mirrors into the windows to also make cleaner lines.
Caprice grille, full HQ bumper on the rear.
Interior had electric windows and 10 speaker Pioneer component system ( with remote control in the back).
I had a computer panel made for the overhead console. Fluro lights behind the panel lit up the name engraved for each button. The buttons controlled individual lights behind perspex in the back.
I sold the van in 1987, actually traded it in to Torque Ford in Redcliffe ( idiot ). From there she went to Brisbane Motor Auctions and that is the Last I have seen of her.
It was still Victorian registered , so would have had to be transferred to QLD. I found the engine number and the only thing QLD Transport would tell me is that the engine was in a 1979 HZ Ute in 2003. SUX Big ones.
Hope this helps a bit more.
