Some pics of Gulliver our 73 Sopru Poptop which has been waiting nearly 18 months for some TLC. Motor goes in next week so thought it was time for clean and tidy up.
Very light cutback with really worn 400 wet and dry.
Will be OK to move around but definite repaint coming up- will probably keep same colour which we think is "Bright Orange" with off white/cream to swage line.



LH Front door rubbed back



LH side


Front



Bed/seat hinges and seat belt anchorages and bar- factory fitting.



Right hand rear- carpark impact -badly repaired



Only major rust plus little in rear LH gutter for about 40cm



How not to put silicone in windscreen- clear is junk and creates rust-correct w/sceen sealer is black -if you have to use it.

So this will be the Brookie Kombi, does this mean you will be coming on all the trips/campout's we have?

Sweet as Brookie, it hardly needs any work, by the looks of things Cool

That is the idea- will try to keep up with you guys but bed a lot earlier Haven't been Kombicamping for 3 years- have to fit interior and minor rust and paint first.
Wish someone would buy our Nissan Camper.

That's great news, glad it's all going to plan.  Maybe you should volunteer for grandchildren duty and advertise it whilst you are in Perth so people have easy access to it.  Either that or swap with your daughter and she can flog it for you  Surprised

Few months yet- can't get into paintshop for at least 6 weeks.

Will continue on inside gear at the moment and working on interior of 70 Poptop( ex New Bay) which should go to paintshop next week. Rubber moulding removed
