i just picked up an HX Sandman Van over here in WA..

my criteria were very very simple (mostly because they are SOOO hard to get here)

windowless and minimal rust. i looked for well over a year to find the one ive got now.

what i ended up with exceeded my expectations. Factory 308 M21 and Mandarin Red. Needs paint and interior. Everything else is fine.

Ive bought and sold an absolute boot load of cars. In my opinion when i look for a keeper, one that im prepared to pay big $$ for it MUST be original and unmodified. If its a shit colour that dosnt matter as much as that it has a good body and little rust.

I dont like looking at cars that have been butchered. It kills me.

If you need to cut holes for A/C etc id just wind down the windows instead. You cant chase the big bikks on re-sale if its not the complete picture (unless your lucky and get a muppet buyer!)

thats my opinion HK. i'm extremely anal and ridiculously fussy tho
