Hey folks,
I posted on here nearly six years ago about our family's Mintern expandavan.
the post is still there, but aside from a few photos Don Ricardo reported, the images have disappeared, so I'll repost them below tomorrow.
At the time I decided to give restoring it a crack, replacing some of the rotting timber etc. but after going back to work full time, and realising the amount of work that needed to be done it has sat there for the past few years like a monument to my failure.
We absolutely love the van, partly for its great design, and party because it's been in the family for over 40 years and until my dad passed away it went on nearly every holiday we took. We had been in conversations with a caravan repair place about the possibility of having it professionally repaired/rebuilt it, and saved up to get it done, but they have since advised us that it's not a job they are willing to take on.
So now we're left with a vintage van we love and can't bear to get rid of which isn't in a usable state, some money saved up to do something about it, but no one with the time or know how to actually restore/rebuild it.
Anyone interested in taking it on as a project, or know someone who would be?
We'd obviously pay for time, materials transport etc.
Its located in Balwyn North, Victoria.
Look forward to hearing from someone.
