I think it's about 6.5 or 7 feet wide! I can't wait to paint it the colour is horrible! I also want to put a small gas fridge in so if anybody hears of one for sale could they let me know!
Any hints or ideas would be great too!!!
Thanks Channy

Hi Chantelle Reminds me of a permanently erected A Van with the pointy bit cut off, You WILL have fun with that one. Actually the yellow is rather funky. Why not call it "the Yella Terra"  ? Keep an eye on Ebay for your fridge, that's the most likely place to find a cheapie. Cheers Ray |

very cute Channy ......don't show it to Ditzy or she'll want one ......she'd probably paint it pink or purple  Do you know what sort of van it is? .....or is it homemade? Mark |

Chantelle, that van is grand.cute and cuddly and snug as a bug in a rug. but i think id like the gas tank outside. only one question,are Melbourne roads so bad you need two spares?  don (from the goat track state) who should know better. ;D |

Hi Mark,
I'm pretty sure it's homemade, never seen one like it before have you? I'm not sure how old it is either!
I think i'll paint it white with a stripe but won't do that till the weather is finer. I'll do the inside first, It needs cushions etc, can't believe how expensive foam is, went to Clark Rubber today. I thought i'd just use the foam from the bed to make the seats because i already have a double bed mattress.

;D ;D ;D    Yep I knew I would have trouble trying to fool you Jailbar that thing on the back really gave it away didnt it the rest was well planned I was just going to say that it was taken in a mirror now that was a master stroke because not even you would have worked that out but dont say anything to reddo about that black thing on the back and he probably wont even notice it if he does i will just plead ignorance somebody must have stuck it on while I wasnt looking Ive tried to log on heaps of times just wont work so ive given up |

Hi Chantelle Pleased to see you scored such a cute ( and different) van.  looks to be early sixties and definitley not mass produced. Well its the first one like that i have seen on this site. interesting having two spare wheels. Also note that there is no wheel arches. Might be worth doing a trial wheel change in the driveway to see if there is enough room to get the wheel off. Nothing worse than getting a flat a million mile from home and finding you need and extra jack to get the wheel out from under the van.  Enjoy.... Reddo |
