Me and my Sandman; found one!

[Robbo_NZ]

Hello

Here are some pics of our new van, a little bit of work ahead of us here..

It is a plated 308, manual, black interior, XX7 build. Despite its body condition, it does have a couple of redeeming features; it would appear to be an accident free van, still has original nose cone radiator support panel, GTS guards, doors and tailgates, and I understand it only ever had two registered previous owners.

Apart from original seats, most of the sandman bits from the interior are long gone, but we will try our very best to restore this icon to its original state.

Thanks to the guys who helped out with contact details, it came from Melbourne, now in NZ

Cheers
Robbo NZ

Thank you for the Rust Bullet link. We were just wondering what was the best approach on the rust, so will look into it. Thank you for your encouragement.
