    Awesome thread and the photos are great! You must have been thinking "these will be great reference material" when you took them! must have been a half decent photographer as well!

    I reckon Blocker could use one of those photos as a useful for the replacement for the yellow WB.

    Hi Rodger

    Great pics, thank you for posting them up, we too had a Jasmine yellow HZ van which Rodney owned before we met, I have a few pics of her on another thread, he was the 2nd owner but it was only 2 years old when he bought it in 1981, it also had a holley. Sadly we sold ours so we could have a family. But we have restored one back to near original, and are about to get her registered...

    Welcome! Absolutely fantastic to read first hand stories like yours, in particular the little things that you did over the years of owning the van.

    I hope you can get a lot out of the site here, maybe not just nostalgia for you but a desire to buy another HZ Sandman!

    Would you like me to copy these pics in the original post (OP) into the photo gallery? photobucket and imageshack tend to drop off their images on a whim.

    It would be great if Rodger can supply the tags, I'm sure someone could put him in touch with his old HZ!

    that van came from Kandos I thought and the dubbo guy said he was second owner I think, I maybe wrong, that does happen (not often) :lol: but you are right it does look similar
