My new newest Carawagon :)
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2013 4:37 pm
Well, my latest project arrived this morning
Here it is in all its glory
As the seller said, it's loosely bolted together, bits like the handbrake, rear fuel tank, seats etc. are just piled in the back and the engine (Defender 2.5TD) is in the engine bay, resting on a piece of 4"x2" timber
It is definately a Series 3 bulkhead, and the front end is in a different colour to the tub, so it looks like it's another 'bitsa'
I would have preferred it to have been an S2A, but still, it's a Carawagon
This was an (off) ebay purchase, the seller accepted an offer a bit lower than his asking price so I'm happy. After all, the galvanised chassis represents more than two thirds of the price I paid for the whole thing
Anyway, first job will be to empty the back to see what sort of cupboards & beds they are - the bed(s) don't look the same as normal 2 door ones, but they are original and until I get time to get everything out, we won't know what the actual layout is.
Oh, and it's got the original gas fridge
I think there's still room on the lawn for another couple
More to follow
Cheers,
Robin.
