Wanted Sandman Van

[Absinth]

yep! shame about the colour Absinth, but I bought it anyway
Now the delemer paint it back to origional coulor just so it's origional or to paint my fav colour and put back to as close to origional except colour... will ponder that one for a little, while I collect some other items and do some other work.

Congrats..... being a confirmed Sandman I would paint it in it's original colour... even though I don't like it.. It will be worth more in it's original colour and re-paints are not cheap.

It is however your Sandman and you can do whatever you want with it.

Thanks for the pic.
I can see why some people don't like the colour.
Is the black centre on the bonnet Sandman or Monaro?

Hi, it is a different colour, personally i like it (that me) and personally i would keep it to its original colour.
My Hx van is in the same boat, it not the original colour, but it only got repainted a few years ago (paint is in good condition) and i wish they had painted it back to its original colour (mandarin red). in the meantime, their is plenty other things to correct.

Least with my ute, it is the correct colour, valencia orange (they even left a section where the original
paint colour) but I would like to put the black out section back to ute and van.
the guy I bought it off, didn't like the black out section.

At the end of the day, its your choice, your sandman, enjoy the project and have fun with your pride an joy.

Original is always best I reckon, even if the colour is not your fav.

It's a dark red wine colour which I just don't like, others may like it. The Sandman pictured below is Bordeux Metallic

thats a pretty classy colour i reckon..

I think it's a nice colour. As the 70's came to a close, the garrish colours of Limes, Oranges and Yellows we all rate well with Sandmans were starting to lose popularity. The Burgandy is a classic colour that still looks sporty.
I'd personally prefer windowless though.

Windows give it extra character. :D

I'm with you Greg I like it. It's different.

Pity it reduces the price.
