WANTED Vintage caravan

[FCRB26]

Hi All

I have been doing the ebay and gumtree thing for some time in search of a van i like to no avail (except 1)
I had my heart set on one on gumtree and this is the style i want but i think its overpriced myself

So im asking if any members have a van they no longer use something around the 10 to 12ft in length must be fairly light for the FE to tow at the moment but will be towed by the ute later on.
I would prefer to build my own but time will get away for the 2016 nationals..

show us what you have available
if you want to remain private send to peter@mallaby.com.au

It's probably a long term project too, but nothing eventuated with the Carapark/Zestline near you a while back?

I have a 1957 Phoenix Bondwood Caravan that is for sale to the right person. Pm me if you are interested it is on the market but it is fully restored and looks great with the earlies 13 foot long , 2 tone green and black and white diner look inside, original ice box and tap and stove , FJ wheels, lots of 50's stuff with it as well and is over the $ 12000.00 mark though, if you are keen contact me.

They are too heavy the one i was chasing on the weekend is the exact same model as the $50 dollar one and its now converted to a hot dog stand he reckons its heavy as hell?
The $50 one needs a lot of work work i dont have time to do.
I looked at one of woodys ones on ebay but it needs wiring fridge curtains  annexe ect ect so cannot justify the 17K

I want one for the nationals in 2016.
Bretts one sounds like what im after just hoping its the shape im after..
I regret selling my old van i had yrs ago but i needed the coin the old fella that bought it was in a vintage restorers club and paid me to put it back to stock i had 40 series tyres on fat FJ rims under it. ;D

[FCRB26]

This bastard wont get off my arse


24hrs of non stop driving later shes home.
Kids woke me at 5 had 3hrs sleep.
Blue slipped and nsw regoed this morning.
Big big drive hate the b doubles on the Hume really should have drove the fe down and stopped over night somewhere.
Shes a cutey
had a little sit down in there few things I will change.
I have a sheet of stucco sheeting at work I think ill add stone protectors on the front and a skirt at the rear maybe also some cool spatts.

That is a huge effort Pete.  The van will look sensational behind any of your FE and or FC's.  Cheers, Graeme

[FCRB26]

Hi
Really thrilled its gone to a good home and Pete is a top guy. Will looks ace with some spats and the alloy guard on the front would look good too!! Funds will help with my freshly restored EH that is assembled and awaiting the motor. Maybe an alloy van would look good behind the EH!! LOL
