    I love the twin headlight front, I am the second owner of a Mandarine red hj ( i have had it longer then i would like to admit ) but it had the twin head light front fitted from the previous owner. I would never dream of changing it back. I have done some terrible things to her over the years like removed the murals, painted it white, fitted a bullbar, a higher diff, 3 or 4 gearboxes & at least the same amount of motors.
    She is sitting patiently in the shed waiting for her turn to be returned to her former glory.Which i think is murals, twin headlight front ect.
    The stripes were in the never put on & the original owner had them when i brought her, but i couldn't even be bothered getting them off him @ the time.
    She is decked out in red velour, with the standard 80's sunroof. (over the back not the cab). All this will stay, now some people will agree & some would think i'm a little bit silly, But my van was being customised 10 mins after it left the dealers.
    So it's all personal taste.
    Back on the subject i think that is a very nice van @ a good price, anyone seriously looking for a J would have to go check it out. I have restored a couple of cars now, & the colour comes well down on the list (imo) on importance. But a nice factory colour can also be a bonus.
    Any of these cars, in thier original warpaint look awsome & will always get plenty of attn. Some good but not always.

    If you are into modified Vans (like me) the quad light front is fine (and also popular). If you are trying to get maximum value and effect from a Sandman then factory standard is the go.
    If I was to purchase this Van I personally would return it to factory spec.

    ect vs etc
