There is a great thread about the water spray job on aussiev8 somewhere. Guys car goes from chalky matt black to deep and shiney with a bit of water on it.
That said, I've got some meguires 3 part polish that does some ammazing things to chalky old paint.
cheers guys i might have to go down with my uncle and cousin to look at it... Yeah i noticed the rust in the sills but withour really any experience in rust repair etc i cant really tell how bad it really is.. But as i said if anyones from vic and wants a kick "lol" feel free
--- Updated ---
the reason im liking it is i want a HZ windowless preferably on duel fuel etc etc meaning a little less work.. but all goes out the window and is nothing if it is rusted and bogged and the body isnt straight..... Also he wants 9k.. bit steep i think id rather a van without all the interior done so im not paying for something ill strip out

yep that is defiantly a fair point about the rust repairs. if you can get someone who knows vans to have a look it would be great. the gutter areas can be very tricky to repair if the damage is extensive. tricky = expensive. Looking at it now looks promising as the instruments on dash look nice and bright still, always a good sign of the condition and life of a car.
9k for a relativy rust free van that is running with a bit of fruit is a fair price, especially if its a sandman...
black outs.
black steering column
courtesy light switches in doors
old paint....?
check the numbers

Do tell. I'm not financially ready for a respray yet but I need to do something to it.Originally Posted by ambientgoat
Did he say whether or not it's a real Sandman Nicky?
asking for the tags now... Im hoping it doesnt go up to high because at the moment i do NOT have 9k to play with
If he's asking 9K i'd be suprised if his reserve is set any lower than 8.
yeah i reckon.. If it IS a sandman then yes 9k is decent but ill have to wait for the tags to come through

well the price is flying up on it just hit 3k then
Looks average at best to me. Front left fender has been bogged to the nose cone! there looks to be a bit of rust going down in the left gutter above passenger and the seam in the same side where van cab meets rear 1/4. If they were genuine honest sellers they would have not sprayed the car in water pre shoot and would have provided shots of rust etc. Take a mate with a very keen eye or a painter/beater who knows this type of vehicle. I think you might be wasting your time dude. Look for something neater. Might cost you a few K more but you'll end up saving big $ in the long run
