Austral HJ - Project

[Sandaro]

Windows aftermarket as you picked up. Was delivered windowless. No regrets there. Back in the day us kids would be in the back for the annual road trip. Would have been pretty bad holed up in there without the view of the roadside scenery!

Could have been an optioned up van for somebody else who then cancelled the order. Pushed from one dealer to another.
How did it get the panel side oversized glass? Did he order it that way?

you could be onto something there..

Why would he wait for a van he special ordered and not order side windows which were a factory option in HJ? Getting the windows fitted aftermarket smacks of..... “ I want a red Sandman with a 308 4sp and side windows”.....

hmm, so and so has one in such and such without windows, we’ll get that trucked over and get windows fitted or tell him they’re aftermarket fitment.... oh, it has wiper dwell and forced air, better try and hit him up for them as an option.

How long did he wait after ordering before delivery? If a week or two it was trucked from another dealer as factory orders were up to 3 months for delivery.

Yeah, I understand the want for windows back in the day.
I was just thinking about scenarios as to how they tried it on the dwell wiper controls etc and the windows got me to thinking because I knew they were one of the common aftermarket styles not Holden.
