shoes and handbags are over rated....make up, however...

( I'm KIDDING, allright!!!)




...And, I doubt that a Big block powered ski boat is actually cheaper than shoes, unless you are Imelda Marcos of course....

It was a 460 running a 8-71 blower.

well been steaming along with this will add some piccies of whats been happening when my internet is fast again, used all my gbs for the month sucks it cost so much jsut for 15 of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but engine is going in tomorrow. got new sump gasket today. still need to work out how to move and refit dipstick. but sumps on, plate made up to cover flywheel/flexplate that is exposed with the new sump. new engine mounts are on. hopefully it sits in there all nice so fingers and toes crossed!!!!!!!!!

Had a '74 HQ ute for many years,in those days fuel was less than 20c a litre
Threw in a higher ratio diff and it used to wind off the speedo......

One of my nephews, FIL,had a panelvan under his house,has had it there for years.I checked it out recently,as he wants to get rid of it, and it is a genuine Sandman,HJ.Has been fitted with a 350,but otherwise is genuine.Has a bit of rust here and there,but actually not in bad nick...Even has the original wheels.

you should jump on the HJ sandman! sounds like a great find!

haha well my engine in is! what a hell of a job that was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will add some piccies next week when net is running fast. but jees louise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it fought the WHOLE time, all day!!!!!!!!! and then it just all of a sudden went in! sump design i think moroso need to change just slightly. and so much hassle would have been avoided. So happy to have it in my car though FINALLY!!!!!
