   Great job Robertc same as the one I bought my Mum however your exterior looks in better nick good thing to start your vintage adventures with reliable comfortable and low cost what a way to see Australia I have met some great people travelling Australia in my vintage vans and I know every one of us is different but I met some lovely people on the way back from Queensland They purchased a new four wheel drive and a new 18ft van no change from a $100.000 I do know this that little franklin will give you just as much fun and reliability im not knocking regular vanners good on them at least there doing what they enjoy Me I just cant go past old cars and vintage vans Will and Lyn

Hi Rob
I can appreciate the amount of long hours of toil that went into bringing your van up to that standard.
I applaud you and whoever else was involved in the restoration.
Now load it up with camping gear and hit the highway.

G'day Rob,
That 1970s Franklin looks new to me, do you have any photos of the job before you started work on it ?.
You also have a 60s "quest" van you were working on don't you, how's that going?
Cobber.

What a great restoration Robert! Those pictures take me back to when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old... When I was still young, innocent and easily influenced. Hence my love for old caravans and Volkswagens... My grandmother lived in one just like that and I remember many weekends staying with her... Yeah if you do the maths I'm not as old as some of the fossils on here ;D haha I better run and hide now  I would love to own one just like it. Get out and enjoy it. It's a credit to you  Cheers Greg |

Hi Don You asked "where does canvas fit in the debate over timber ;D-glass  -alloy ". It is simple my good man . let me .. the intellectual giant ....explain . Ahem... Come closer to the screen while i give ya the mail old mate!!!!! Traditionally "Works of art / priceless treasures are painted on canvas" So it stands to reason that it is only fair and just that........ "Canvas can only be used on bondwood caravans which are works of art/ priceless treasures" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D See ... its all simple once you have had it explained to you eh  Reddoneyed bondy freak |
