    looks schmick and still cheaper than restoring one. just need to find the buyer with 30 odd k as opposed to 5-10k for one that needs resto. square edges wheel trims and correct mirrors, rather than aftermarket, would be my suggestions at a glance

    Nice spotting. I do have a couple of mirrors, but chrome too pitted for my liking. They're basically the final two items, but I stuck my hand in the cookie jar & only crumbs left now. Stupid Xmas!

    I can't see the mirrors clearly but black is the correct colour for them. Only thing I would prefer is to have the tonneau clips on it if it had them originally, which I believe Sandman did. I could be wrong there though.
    Looks good and nice to see some ute appearing.

    Yeah but that's from a brochure which are notoriously incorrect. I have definitely noticed no clips on that before. I am sure this was discussed on here before but I thought the outcome was Sandman Utes came with the tonneau in HZ and I assume the earlier ones as well.

So, long story short I decided to leave it up to the new owner

    Fair enough. I would cringe if it didn't already have the clips on it. Were they welded up or never there??

    Yeah, they were welded up previous to me owning it. Had done a nice job of it, so left it alone.

    My mate took quite a few with the fish eye. Some of them looked awesome at dusk. Perhaps there needs to be a best "fish eye" shot section. Love that avatar pic of yours. Had that as my screen saver for ages. Trying to convince the wife to do a really cheesy recreation
