Newbie and new Van

[Deleted]

Hi all

I have just bought my first Vintage Van to restore and was wondering what would be the best way to go.
It is I am told because i wont get it till Monday. A Don Cadet,that was originally Bondwood but has been re-clad at some time with aluminium.

Any info or a place to see some pic of the inside and out side of one of these would be much appreciated.

Not sure if i should leave it as it is or return it to the original Bondwood. Also I have never heard of A Don Cadet before either.


Regards
Ripnrun

Hi Riprun,
Glad you got the van!
If you look at Don caravans under DOwn history lane you will see all about your Cadet,and then I'm sure you will decide to take the ally off and restore back to original?
