    eBay - Melbourne HX Papaya L20 M20 GV7

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-H...3c4d%7Ciid%3A1
    Being close by, i went and had a look after maxsandman kindly asked

    Needless to say....it needs everything. Bordering on a rebody, missing a fair few big ticket items, substantial damage at the rear (in terms of repair costs), every hanging panel will need replacing, rust repairs in every corner (inside & out).....this is not one for the faint of heart.

    Speaking to the owner, he is asking 10k. With cost of rebuilding, the end likely wouldnt justify the time & effort (unless of course you are set on a HX 6cyl Papaya van).
    Like many a sandman through the years, the expensive items have been pilfered for another build.

    If you're good at body work ...have a stack of parts at your disposal, then it may be worth the effort.

    Van can be viewed in Sunshine, Vic

    If you're unable to get down to view the van....hope this helps. Photos to make your own judgement.

    I saw this listing on my phone around midnite last nite, Papaya, black trim......... interesting. I think Im very lucky I wasn't drinking, It looked quite different on a smaller screen with tired eyes!
    Today I can see grille badge, alloy tappet cover, tailgate handle & a set of cheviot hose reels. Hardly enough there to make it a viable project.

    Thank you, Alien for taking the time to go check it out. & good luck to anyone brave enough to take this on.........

    Not uncommon for bodies to be built Adelaide and shipped to say Sydney or Melbourne to be assembled and joined to chassis, thus plates from the 2 plants

    Yeah not sure of the logic to gut a sandman to build a prem.
