It has happened already with Premiers, GTS's etc.

God i hope this bloke gets back to me........i do believe its a 308 model too. Fingers and toes crossed.

If i knew where he lived exactly, i'd be pitching a tent in his front yard

haha plodding along with my HQ. Following Scott's http://holdenhqss.blogspot.com.au/ and had to find not rusty HQ inner guards with the staples. Only have 2 very small sqrew holes to weld up in one of them... :-S Trying to use everything HQ. I know Ill PG13 up with some things because my memory is not that good.

Having read all the posts.... interesting thoughts. Price depends on what you want and what you're willing to pay for it and what you want to do with it and spend on it and how long you want to keep it for and what you ultimately want out of it in your life. Bought mine (not a Sandman BTW) in very good condition for what i think was a pittence.. I have spent a shiteload on it since in $ and time and effort (but probably not as much as others). I still have a long way to go till it's done - probably never will be, we all know what resto's etc are like. I think the van is worth more, but LSV won't insure it for more than $10K. Disappointed i am, thinkg about trying Shannons again. That's life. I've bought it to enjoy - not sure what the future holds, but i have no intention of ever selling it so the last time i got asked would i sell it and how much i asked for $50K (just to shut the guy up who followed me home down my street and into my driveway - scary!!). He said he'd think about it...lol... never saw him again, i think he got the message. Just thought i'd share my 2 cents worth :cupcake:

Shannons covered mine for $25k and it creeps up a little each year. Now nearing $30k after three years. Still cost me more than that though. At the time of initial insurance they were having trouble finding examples to compare prices in the market. Might be easier now.
