Re: Re: Update on Dormobile Down under
Hi Ian,
I love the old SII’s. Getting it running and stopping won’t be hard. Maybe you can finance it by selling the exotic tail light. Is it rusty? It doesn’t look too bad.
The Dormobile parts are another story. That’s cool to see that you’re finding so many original parts, but changed to suit the previous owners’ needs. Having a relatively standard Dormobile, which in pictures seems to not need much work at all, I am amazed at how much work it has taken to get it back together the way it’s “supposed” to be … In your case, I like the quirky changes, like the sand-colored stove cabinet with the sink lopped off. Unless you’re a proficient metalworker with a good tool set who can re-make all the bits, or you have a list of all the previous owners who you might contact for the missing parts, I’d keep it “historic” by preserving it how it is. I love the “Dormobile” ghost lettering.
