Just don't do stupid things like cut holes in the floor for some stupid oversized gearbox, or to fit Commodore seats or doof doof speakers. I reckon there would be nothing cooler than an original looking HJ Sandman ute or van that has an injected, stroked 5 litre in it (with QT engine number), 4L60 box, original diff, widened 15" GTS rims, power steer, factory HJ-WB A/C and original looking interior albeit with hidden modern sound and cruise control. No-one would do this to an untouched car, but why not do it to yours? It'll cost you about the same as a concours attempt and be much easier!

Will do my best

haha too easy Byron. I got most right =) wasnt a bad attempt.

Like others say do it how you want it. I am doing a silly build on a HZ GTS. 100% original. But thats what I want to do. When done it will be one of the most orginal HZ GTS's around. But I doubt I will show it as its for me to enjoy not others lol.

Make your car YOUR own.

Making it my own...with a little help from the forum members.

Cut the roof off another genuine sandman today, unfortunately no id tags for Byron's data base. Will use it to repair mine.

The rest of the body and chassis was rusted badly. The chassis was wrong for the body also.

Good attitude - fix what you can, or others are prepared to. Use those that are unsaveable to repair others. We all have to get bits from somewhere so some cars have to die for this to happen.
