Alex's White Dormobile
Alex's White Dormobile
Well, here are the pictures!
As can be seen, the shock of being dragged round the countryside was too much for the bulkhead which has gradually disintegrated!
Anyway, nothing that a new Richard's chassis, replacement bulkhead, side frames, doors and some tlc won't put right!
Lick of paint to the wardrobe and kitchen, give those curtains a wash and it will be as good as new

Re: Alex's White Dormobile
A bit of fibreglass and WD40 and it'll be good as new
Looks like a fair bit of work there Alex, a real "ground-up" rebuild required, but as you say, worth it as all the Dormy bits seem to be there.
Have fun
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: Alex's White Dormobile
A bit of paint & sorted!
What are the rear hubs? They look quite big compared to mine.

Re: Alex's White Dormobile
All the hubs seem to have special hub caps on the match the 8 spoke wheels.
Lovely !

Re: Alex's White Dormobile
Looks like you've got your work cut out there, but at least what looks like (to my untrained eye) is that all of the Dormobile stuff is still present.
However I do find it strange that some people go to great lengths in fitting those military style top hinges only for others to screw through the door top to fit the Series 3 / Defender style mirrors and arms, and it's not the first time I have seen that type of 'mod' too!

Re: Alex's White Dormobile
Hard to believe that it was August that I bought this.
Off to pick it up shortly. Hopefully back here on Saturday late afternoon

Re: Alex's White Dormobile
Do not put the curtains in the laundry. They will disintegrate. Ask me how I know.

All back safe and sound.
Exciting get it down the drive and into the car port. It was when I was moving Lucy's 59er that I realised that you only get 2 wheel drive with only one prop shaft on.
Nothing major fell off on the way (that I am aware of).
