i agree with you that the color is kinda cool.. almost like the bluestar
color.
my point is judging by the rather large dents on the drivers side, they are
 most likely trying to HIDE something with that  Rhinolining...especially
with the way the Rhinolining comes way up  amost to the beltline on the
quarterpanels... make me think something is  up..  trying to cover bad bodywork
or rust or maybe the van did a slow roll  over onto the drivers side or
something.
Here on the east coast Rhinolining is a MAJOR red flag.  9 times  out of 10
it is used to cover up a crappy bondo job patched over rust. you cant  see
all the rust bubbles with the bubbly Rhinolining finish hiding it.

you west coast folks think its cool and gives an off road look. here on the
 east coast salt belt we know its a cheap quick fix used to cover up Rust
when your looking to flip your car.  when i see Rhinolining on a vehicle
like that around here its always bad news.
buyer beware..

dear  potential new owner

i had a 89 California westfalia -
it had FROM  THE FACTORY an almost identical rino treatment underneath and
running all  around the lower portions - what was slightly different about
my now gone  California is the finnish coat was painted over the rock guard
- this looks  like a very well done rock guard & paint job  at least by
pictures  - someone who looks first hand (with magnet in hand and a soft
cloth to  prevent magnet from touching paint - ) will be able to quickly
tell the  story -
as scott says - looks like a time for an upgrade :) - wish i were  able $ to
at least kick tires and  more
