1963 Dormobile

Post by Flo109 » Sat Jun 04, 2016 10:47 pm

Hi everyone,
Here we going more sleepless nights and lots of money!.. I brought the dormobile which was on eBay earlier this week. The chassis is beyond repair, the roof and front seats are still their and the gas bottle carriers under the drivers seat are still there, I put some better pictures on when I get a chance,

So they should, really, as I think there are quite a few more Dormobiles on the road than Carawagons :shrug:

School holidays have hampered progress on the Dormobile, the tub is sort of back on!.. I've fitted a new floor section at the front, YRM piece, reasonable priced, itwasn't that easy to fit!..
The tub is coming back of this week to finish off, and fit new sender unit in the tank and do do a bit of plumbing, but I've fitted a new diesel tank, so the option to stick a diesel in later is there,
