Finally have a Ute have been looking at building one for about 5 years now just couldn’t find anything half decent in condition and price to start with…So scrolling through market place on Facebook this sandman replica come up and 15 minutes from my place I was going to not worry about it as the ad had been up 20 hours I thought no point he would of had heaps of messages (which he did ) wife says get on it now the rest is history … it’s only a 253 trimatic 10 bolt but it cruises so nice only a few small things to do

Nice ute!   

Love the 4 headlight front and the Houndstooth type seats, and the engine treatment. Very nice.

Reckon I'd photoshop it and see how it would look with the headlight surrounds given the normal blackout treatment as applied to Monaros and GTS of that era?

Very nice score.

 I love the look of this thing. The blue and orange stripes are such a good combo.

Looks like you've picked up a peach.

Putting an extra pedal in this one Daz? Would be super nice with an LSD and a 5spd.  :spoton:

Photoshop not required, it just would.
