We weren't actually looking for another VV but Hey when one comes up and you can see an opportunity to bring one back to life you go for it. Don't consider the fact that there isn't much room in the driveway for another VV and that you aren't entirely sure that it will fit under the carport. You buy it and work it out later. Later showed that it did fit in the driveway and Marvin our 53 Home Build won't allow enough room for the Globe to come under the carport anyway.
There was no air in tyres so we pumped them up and they stayed up. No way I was going to tow this one home so a car trailer was organised. About 30 minutes later it was out of the shed and onto the trailer. Probably could have done it quicker if the jockey wheel wasn't seized. Fantastic hand brake at the moment.
Tied it down, shrink wrapped it and off we went. No dramas for the 20 minute drive home.
The interior is in remarkable condition and unmolested. The only issue I have is that the over sink water tank was removed quite some time ago and by the looks of the exterior paint work it was well before it was parked in the shed. Once that I can source a replacement the interior is complete. Spent a couple of hours removing carpet and underlay and an accumulation of stuff then re assembled the table and gave it a bit of a clean. Bloody happy.
Will keep the updates coming as we make some progress with the restoration.
