Carawagon Body
Re: Carawagon Body
I was so tempted myself, but it is actually the other end of the country for me!!
If I hadn't the ambulance I would have done the long haul, just to have a carawagon......
Hope it goes to a good home!

Re: Carawagon Body
Now wouldn't that be something - the Sanderson clan turning up at a show in 3 Carawagons
Just got to drop it onto a 'spare' 109 and persuade Susan or Hazel to drive it
Seriously though, I might do what Alex is doing with his 'new' Dormobile - take my time and rebuild from the ground up on a galv chassis and get it exactly as I want it, then sell my original Carawagon (the one I've just finished ).
Don't hold your breath though - I view this one as a long-term project rather than an on-the-road rolling restoration so if I do sell my other one, it won't be for a year or so.
Then again, you know how I work - set me a deadline and I'll try to work to it

Re: Carawagon Body
Well done Robin, I somehow knew that you wouldn't be able to resist
Look forward to seeing the "build pictures"

Great news Robin, Wondering why you were looking for a 109"..... On the plus side, if you finish this one and sell the other one you will be able to get another member on here....

Re: Carawagon Body
Yep, that's the idea Dan; if I do sell the other one it will be offered on here first
I'm in two minds whether to molest Steptoe, my current 109" - he's sitting there on the lawn not having turned a wheel since his MOT ran out nearly 3 months ago because I haven't had time to get him ready (just needs a couple of chassis patches)
However, Steptoe is unique in his own right, being modified by his previous owner and turned into a real workhorse for a specific task (heavy winches etc.) so it would be a shame to strip him down
Of course, if nothing else turns up, that would be the most sensible thing to do - plus a new chassis of course
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: Carawagon Body
Steptoe is too unique to turn into a Carawagon... I am sure a 109" will turn up, I did have a lead on one a year back, nothing materialised but I will do some digging...
If you are going to re-chassis, it doesn't matter if you get a right ropey one, just needs to be legit

Re: Carawagon Body
That's right Dan, and though I don't mind welding up bulkheads, one which isn't totally shot would be good.
Of course, if an abandoned project with galv chassis, good bulkhead and a 200/300TDi turns up then all the better
