    Vanspiration 17 - I’m too sixy

    I believe this van is pretty well known and recently for sale or sold?

    Just like The Joker, here’s the origin story

    Personally, I like the before pics better.

    The way it looks now, (to me) is too much money spent, & asked for, especially for a 6, which takes it away from anyone buying & enjoying it for what it was designed for.

    That's just my opinion, & yes it does look good!

    I still would have restored it but put the 6 aside and replace with a 5 litre and 5 speed box
    Much more enjoyable to drive

    It's a nice job and looks tidy. But HX, 6cyl, Chamois colour. bit hard to get excited about.
    Side glass removal was a good move and looks to have been done well. Don't like the aftermarket Sandman horn cap badge at all.
    Money spent on a low end Sandman is a whole other issue. Still nice to look at and ponder...

    I can see why it was restored, whilst it was largely reasonable, the left side needed work and fill windows a further plus.

    Looks a good restoration job, I didn't think I'd ever say this but I really like the chamois with the blackouts and stripes.
