Any fellow Bondy's in Castlemaine/Bendigo area?

[koornang]

Hi

At last I have bitten the bullet and bought a 1950s homemade Bondy myself.

I got it home yesterday and now am about to start the road to restoration.

Just wondering if there are any fellow V Vs or Bondy owners in the area..?

I live in Castlemaine, Vic.

I'd love to have another experienced restorer look her over and give me any advice they may have.

This is my first such project, so I'd appreciate any advice I can get.



















Cheers
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

We restored a 1940's home made bondwood van and live in Bendigo. Would be more than happy to trip to Castlemaine to view your project. I am not a tradesman so may not be able to give detailed advice.

Your van looks pretty tidy on the inside Andrew. Any clues to be found on the brand??

Not so far. I was told that it was home made by a farmer by the previous owner. It certainly has a home made feel about it. :-)

G'day Andrew,

There is another Andrew slap bang in the middle of Castlemaine who is a member of this forum ...( I'm assuming it's not you )
You can see the thread on his tear drop of joy if you click here
