Looks like a good project there. Is it all genuine. Why not have a go at painting it yourself.....go on be brave. Should give you hours of enjoyment in the resto, and even more when complete.
Keep it going,

Cheers Trev. Id like to have a go at painting it myself but its a metallic finish so I think its something ill really need to leave to the experts. Yep its an original sandman, however it doesnt have the original engine and its on a different chassis. As you can see in the pics it was a bit smacked around and the bloke who had it before me hit a stump and banged it up a bit. Edited by user Friday, 20 April 2012 3:05:34 AM(UTC)

Sheez a touch n feel for a whole can of the correct colour. damn Im a few months too late. I had to get them made into spray packs. Took 8 of them to do the whole back just in case anyone is interested... Probably a lot more expensive than a 1 litre can too...

Hi Hainzy
What colour are the stickers for your van? (Looks like - Dark Blue/Light Blue/White).
Is this correct?
Thanks

Hi mate. I got them from the guy from the adelaide sandman club. Not sure how many sets they have left as they did a limited run. I bought another set a while back which ive posted some pics of on my van below. They are really great quality and I was very pleased with em. Not sure if they would sell just the tailgate though. There is also lesser quality sets available on ebay too. His email is - [email protected]
