    Congrats.
    What you paid will only be an issue if you wanted to sell it again soon.... Time will eventually make it seem like a bargain, so put the price out of your mind and have fun with it and get some value out of the current paintjob. At least if you are eventually going to paint it black (awesome), you can enjoy taking it on a few rough roads and not stress about stone chips like I do!
    It looks good the way it is now anyway so there's no rush.

    Convert the engine to fuel injection and just drive it.

    Nice pickup! I reckon the price is about right. Just cause it's the wrong colour for the plates doesn't mean it's worth a full paint job less. If the condition is as you say, then you've done well. I like the colour, and some blackouts would really set it off. My vote for wheels would be a set of nice wide GTS rims in the same black and bronze with chrome dress rims.

    Congratulations, enjoy, and most importantly of all, more pics!

    I reckon its 2 pak. The paint is very good - it actually looks like it has already been polished, very shiny. Will get some better pics of it on here shortly.
    I assume I should start posting these in the "HX" thread? Have ordered a few bits from rare spares to change the look of the lights and grill a bit so will have some before and afters. Cheers

    Those Wildfires will look great tucked up under the guards a bit, and a Sandman tailgate sticker will give the van a bit of identity. I would also leave the guards and front alone and paint the blackouts, but it's yours and you can do what you like.
    Whatever you do it's a great looking van and you will enjoy having fun with it.
