Hi all,
Thought I'd put up a few pics of my 1959 Sunliner ( :'(took a long time to get started) restoration project.
I moved to the Sunshine Coast in QLD a few months back, so there were a few delays in kicking off the project, but now she's happening.
I got onto a mob in Noosa who are going to do the perspex windows for me at a good price and I'm organising the rubbers for them also.
The hard part's about to start, the rubbing back and the painting.
Thanks also to Humpty, Spyder and JBJ for their advice on the tricks of the trade with these lovely Sunliner's.
Oh what a nice backside you've got....................NOT.
The "rippled" internal roof lining could be interesting.......
Built a more permanent double bed base, don't like making up beds late at night....especially after a few quiet ones with the likes of PooBah, Reddo or Daggsey....
The Engel is going to get an old style re-vamp, timber door panel on the front and paint job for the fridge shell.
The view from the shed's not bad .......oops, sorry bout the bin.
Now that tow hitch has definitely got to go............
Just about to get the you beaut ute re-registered in "banana bender rego", the gas has been "banana certified" and she'll be on the road again....
Had fun and games getting the very old rubber window surrounds out....and all the hardened putty and gunk that went with it.
Am getting another fibreglass "spat" moulded for the other side, just love the spats on a van
It's a lot of fun, am enjoying it, a long way to go but cant wait to get on the road in 09.
Cheers, Hillbilly ;D ;D ;D
