    Thanks for the kind words..

    At this stage, I think she looks good enough (& rough enough) to just continue with mechanical rebuild only to get roadworthy & enjoy as is

    Yes, went to say g'day to Greg, & within a couple minutes Byron turned up & had a look & chat about it

    I signed on here for the first time in years and here I am in a photo bomb!

    Good to meet you in person Max, still think the van looks perfect as is.

    Yes same, good to meet you. & Yes the van will look like that for a while, just aiming at getting it to a stage I can travel around in it.

    the colour seems to be a faded persian sand mk2 (not a bad colour ) and the aftermarket nose cone is just wrong
    but a good resto should be amazing

    Yeah I agree. Persian sand is a great colour. Probably one of the better colours. Especially as every Sandman is either red or yellow or blue. Only so many that catch your eye and the common colours certainly don’t anymore.

    Im still not sold on the original colour, but not sure about changing it.

    This is the 45 year old paint inside the cab, above the windscreen, been protected by the roof lining. It still looks very lively

    I had a taiwsense tailgate I got cheap, so I had it sprayed, mixed by the paint code, & it looks quite dull. I was never going to fit this, only hang in the shed!

    Would really like to see how good the colour can look, to help me decide
