Hi all,
Just joined and just purchased a 19?? Olympic Debonair fibreglass van. 1st van and I am sure I have lots to learn. My name is Rodney live on the Gold Coast and am mid 40s. My username is the Rego number on my price and joy a 69 Mustang which I intend to use to tow the van most of the time.
My van I think is in very good condition, everything works, no rust, no rot, it is wearing most of its original paint (has had a couple touch ups here and there) interior appears to be all original and the stove/grill is like it has never been used, no water damage, and since I towed it home on Saturday (250klms) it has been through 2 storms including a hail storm yesterday and not 1 drop off water inside the van.
My first plans are to fit a set of 14x7 Magnum 500 wheels which is what is commonly fitted to 69 Mustangs then I would like to pull up the 2 single beds and cupboard and then fit a Queen sized bed going across the van. I would be happy to leave the modifications to that and I know I am going to regret that considering the interior looks like it is only a year or 2 old and not 40+years old. The wife on the other hand wants a purple black and gold color scheme so it looks like I will be changing more than I want to.
According to the plate riveted to the draw bar it is manufactured in 1972 but according to the registration it is made in 1968 and the van has apparently never been unregistered can someone please help me date this
Some piccies below and will add more when I take some more.
Cheers Rodney
