After 25 years this Franklin Statesman was used as a bedroom, built into the verandah of a house under cover since 1987 - 2014, this Franklin Statesman van - I have finally registered it to set it FREE!!! After replacing springs, wheels, tyres, brake pipes, hoses, wheel cylinders - all the running gear! Removed "4 season roof hatch" to reseal 'n replace some fly screens there, I have replaced window plastic corner moulds to prevent leaking with laser cut aluminium copies. Repaired all other fly screens. It has taken me 5 months of enjoyable restoration with challenges + keeping it retro!! I have a lot of retro bit's 'n pieces to add to the inside to keep the theme. Can't wait for the first trip!!! Franklin van named "Frankie Laine"
Have you got any photos to show us?
