Clyde and Barbs "new' Sunliner

[Deleted]

Hi All

These photos of Cactus's sunliner have come to me via Humpty.
They have asked me to post them ( the pictures ) on the forum.

Not sure whats going on here folks ... all this fibreglass activity goin on around "The prince of plywood" ;D. I feel that they are tryin to sway me into thinkin fibreglass is cool.
NO WAY .. Hozay.

OK, OK, OK i will weaken and say that its " sorta allright " ,...just a little bit at a time... perhaps... maybe.
I will also admit that the Big T bird looks great with Sunny the Sunliner.
Geez ... 2 "F" words together ..." Ford and Fibreglass"

Anyway enough crap from me. Mystro... strike up the fanfare...while i introduce the forum to Clyde and Barbs new toys.



Hooked up to the Thunderbird... thunderbirds are Gooooooooo.



Aaaaaahhh now that looks more like a Ozzie vinatge van scene .. now duzznit.


Oh... did i show you my bum... is got ledeees stuck up it.



Oh the shame of it all. i have an rumaholic inside me.


And a real bonus we can play checkers and draughts on the floor.... cool.



Green and yellow cupboards... Did Clyde work at BP at some stage of his career???


How about we get naked and fool around on the bed.... Oooooo Clyde you sure are a charmer.... Aarrrr shucks Barb ... You excite me... now come on give me a hand with my fly. giggle, tickle.. ooooooClyde... Oooo Barb.......

Enough is enough here folks we better hand over to Clyde and Barb for the full story.

Sorry about having some fun with your pix Cactus . that'll teach ya not to send fibreglass fotos to a Plyperson.

Oh bye the way ...... they look great mate. You 2 have done a great job.

Reddo.... when only plywood will do.

Hi Reddo thanks very much for posting the pics. We'll have to get into photobucket sooner or later!

Finally finished the Sunny with lots of good advice and assistance from the Sunliner Kings, namely Spyder and Humpty. Thanks Fellas.
Had a go at my first attempt at spray painting..........used the left over acrylic Valley Mist Green/Fowlers Ivory from the EH Prem resto.
Not without dramas........tried to buff the metalic green without any clear coat on it!!!!!!
A few other dramas......fitting perspex windows but got there in the end.

Towing home from having annex measured....... van door flew open and smashed off hinges.... repair glass....repair hinges.....repaint.....nothing meant to be easy, eh?

Decided to go ultra bright interior.....maybe Boxing Kangroo Flag could be good decore.

Also formating interior with table down to allow generous sleeping space (spoilt after fold up van) we eat and cook outside anyhow. Outfit gets more looks and thumbs up on the highway than the Tbird. Entered in Coastal car club show last weekend, EH with the van. Great interest shown......retro is enjoying a revival I reckon. Even won Entrants choice trophy. WOW!

Looks like fold up van might be sold to Melbourne.....money not in the bank yet. ($6,000)
Looking forward to touring in the New Year also EH All State Run at Penrith, Easter 2007 and of course, can't wait for next years Coledale and Reddo's Run.

Wishing all our friends a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Cheers, Clyde and Barb

Clyde and Barb,

That looks great, but I bet nobody wants to see how you make your bed anymore.

I too have just had my first attempt at spray painting...that's what hobbies are all about eh ?.....having a go.

Something I have not been able to figure out, why some caravan doors are hinged on the trailing edge and not on the leading edge, can somebody explain that to me please?

Thanks for the Christmas cheers..Yvonne and I hope you both have a happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Cobber.

hi cobber

the door hinge worried me for a while and then i figured that if the majority of doors swung from the front, when they opened, they would cover the front left window.

most of the doors that swing from the back as suicides, swing to come against the outside wall behind the wardrobe where there are no windows to obscure.

maybe i'm right or maybe i'm wrong,
(maybe i'm weak or maybe i'm strong)
(never the less i'm in love with !!!!!!!!! v.v.ing)

geoff

by the way clyde, you and barb have done a wonderful job on the sunliner and we're looking forward to seeing it at coledale if not before, and i'm suffering from a serious case of T BIRD ENVY

geoff

Clyde,

See that yellow thing on the end of the Bundy bottle.......no,no,no......the other end........yep, that one......well you've got to unscrew it..........nah....the other way.....opposite way that Mickey Mouse's hands go on your watch.....now tip it upside down and that brown stuff will come out ......no not the watch.....not the cap either....just the bottle.

Must be one of those Queenslander/Fibreglass things eh Reddo!

V E R R R R Y Y Y nice Clyde. One thing puzzles me however, and you other plastic blokes might be able to answer......... Didn't know that such small microwaves were around in the early sixties. Always thought that in those days they were so big you needed an extra house for them, let alone caravan!!! ;D ;D
Happy Christmas guys
