Nice set up pham. I got some more bulbs in the mail from Chinaland. These ones took care of the dash/speedo cluster.

Blasted and rock-guarded my rusty step. Looks much less ghetto now.

Those wheels look a bit lost in the arches, what size are they?

Replaced my worn pump seal with help of my mechanic friend. It took us 7 hrs as he is very cautious cos he never worked on a Delica before. Eveything went well except when attempt starting took us a little while as fuel didn't come out soon enough. Crank the battery a bit longer as well as prime the fuel filter helps. Fuel finally show up on the injectors so reconnect and everything went well. I just changed the main shaft seal . Hope there will be no more cutting out but cannot test now as the weather is getting warmer ...Would like to encourage one to do the job yourself as it is very educating and saving some $ for summer vacation ! If I have to do it again , it will be done with more confidence and more likely quicker.

Ouch^^^I feel your pain. hope you have a layer of wax on there
Looks like they made an effort to arch the front wheel wells but got distracted at the back
Come to think of it I'm gonna wax my van now , I'm getting paranoid looking at your ride.
I hope it's a pain free clean up

Ouch. You wax your Paj, don't you? I'd think that would help the paint come off. I've read that brake cleaner works to get stuff off the paint without damaging the paint job. Check this link, in particular Mystery Machine's post.
Test it in an inconspicuous spot on the body.

I use a combination of goof-off, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and cut wax to remove paint from the vehicle. I learned my lesson using lacquer thinner, luckily cut wax reverses the effect of that.

All I used was Auto Glym tar remover then buffed out the streaks left by that with Auto Glym resin pollish and it was out in 30min with minimal shoulder burning! :)
