GTS Dash Id needed

**HZSandman** · 28-01-2011, 11:29 PM

I think I am nearly convinced it is genuine. I'll check the silver again and the warning lights to see if they have been added later on.

Now I need to decide whether to stick it in the van or not. The one in there is genuine with the pins in the RTS badge but I have had to add a black facia plate around the radio as the wholes have been flooged out a bit. But I like the gloss black finish on my one better than the more mat finish on this later type. Decisions, decisions.

Now I know what Jason thinks.

Sean, makes up for all the times I have tried to grab something in the last few seconds and still been beaten.

This was one of stupid ones where I put a bid in early and then went out only to come home to a nice surprise.

if it has the GM-7 1 its genuine as this is the only differences between them..other than whats already been pointed out.

Greg, this fascia on Ebay at the moment is a repro by the looks of it but the owner states in the Q&A's that it has GM 7-1 stamped on the back??? Could it be an early repro that Rares were supplying to Holden?

or is it a holden genuine that holden were supplying to rares?...rare spares in the earlier days.. 80s 90s.. sold lots of genuine holden stuff..they sold it coz most dummies did not realise it was still available from holden..:knockout:

I remember when even at Wolfys in Newcastle in the 1990's they had brand new HQ, HJ, HX, HZ grilles of most styles even SL/E.

rares at sandgate had heaps of that stuff.....i know coz i bought lots of it..example would be ht wheel arch moulds by the 100s..for $1.67 each..

no one wanted them so i bought them all..did the same a couple of years later at aap in sydney but had to pay $2.20 each...at one stage i had around 1300 wheel arch moulds..

Judging by the white printed idiot light and lack of chrome border I'd say it is a repro fascia and not genuine Holden......

Ian, Buy some Novus plastic polish and just polish the new one up to the way you like it. I use this stuff all the time and it's great for lenses, reflectors etc as well. It comes in 3 bottles... heavy scratch, fine scratch and polish.
Ebay link to the small set....

Jason, it's a HZ fascia so I don't need it..... I want a HX one but do have two I have repaired. I just like to buy them if the price is right to restore. I just need to find a guy down here in Melbourne now who is good at re-chroming plastic.....

I am starting to buy consoles now also to restore... picked up a HJ Sandman one the other day that is a good resto candidate... I also repaired a set of seat plastics (hinge covers) recently that came out really good but it is hard to find enough donor ones to repair the good ones.
