I have amongst other road reports the original Sandman 4x4 write up.
Not bad for a bloke in Tassie to get full factory backing for his dream

This guy did not do the XY 4x4 utes as far as I know, they were based on the FJ55 tojo

I have wanted one of those utes, since about '84, when I saw an immaculate one zipping through Maribyrnong.

Is that the guy from Launceston? He made what were called "overlanders". Holden panel van on Toyota chassis. Bloody awesome looking. There were a lot of copies but his original overlanders still sell very well.

I found this interesting article about the XY 4x4: http://www.truckjungle.com/2012/08/1...alcon-4x4-ute/

No toyota chassis, thats the modern copy
Original had Dana diffs under reinforced std chassis
Worth crazy $$ now

Now i'm not sure if my car counts but nonetheless... I still have my UC Torana, (not the Sunbird), red 202, automatic. Needs a new paint work. Have done some basic work: holley 350, extractors, smaller starter motor and suspension changed to meet the SLR5000 design. Also put on a set of centreline rims with yokohama tyres. Corners very nicely too. But it's been stored away for some years now ever since i started buying newer cars.
