Hi all, been a long while since we logged in - had lost the link! Some great looking vans coming along this year, should be fantastic See you all soon

Congrats on putting up your first post Mark (HQ400).
Look forward to seeing many more.

Go Mark, thats looking great, if you dont finish it you still have the Orange machine.

Cheers Azza.

That paint job looks ace Mark!!!!!

Very simular to the red on my old HQ van.

mmmmm Bad choice of pic that was.

And you sold that van??? WTF!!!

Sold it in bits, Genuine 74 HQ Sandman, last of the line with the HJ Quarters ( no Vents ) hardest ones to find, looked great, bought it with a buggered 308, on Gas, stato front, all the Sandman goodies, decked out rear, retrimed throughout, 3.08 LSD Sals, auto, great paint.

What a bargain, $2000, what a shitbox, completely full of rust, dream van gone bad, complete stripout and selloff, only kept radiator and thermos which are now in my current van.














Not a van i really talk about due to it being a very sore point in my life, disapointment plus, doubled my money on the stripout but really liked this van, bog central, beyond repair.

will still be taking the orange van to nat's cheers mark

Hi Everyone, Well my story is the worst we left the transit in Melbourne after last years Nats and flew home to Perth and we will be flying back from Perth to pick it up the week before this years Nats so i have not been able to do anything at all this year the new engine conversion blew out a little as there were major problems found elsewhere in the Transit but it will be great to have it back after 12 months.

Regards

Paul and Sue

he Paul sorry to say its been just over 12 months, as Easter last was early and so add 3 weeks.. does that make you feel better. ??

You can always give me the engine Paul, so that you wont have a problem anymore with the Transit hahaha, and put the chev motor where it belongs. I'd be willing to help you out

I DONT THINK SOOOOOO

nice try Kath, i think this power plant will be worth a fortune.

Lot more than we originally planned mainly because of the other major problems and some extras that i did add as well.
