'76 Castrol Kombi "Daisy"
Here she is, the old girl has been off the road for about 2 years, and now should be back on in time for summer.
Putting this post on for a bit of advice as well, the paint job. Should I paint over it, restore the colour and put a few costs of clear on it or
change the colour totally.
My thoughts was to paint in that nice pale blue, over to you fine lads and lasses.
Oh yeah....as for the Castrol bit in the title, it was previously owned by Castrol about 5-6years ago as the magantec promo car. It's not the car in
the ad (with Neil from the young ones), that one was a split bus.

Restore and clear coat! That van is wonderful. If you want something that you don't want to think twice about repainting, I'll swap you... or
alternatively for some reason there are quite a few vans and utes on eBay at the moment.
If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

Thanks fella's have made my decision then, it will get resto'd with the paint scheme its got, and then clear coated.
Next question then about the suspension should I leave it standard or get this baby lowered, not sure if the lowering would suit but up for
suggestions
Thanks all for the comments so far!
