Fleetline Split camper

Post by DR WATSON »

Hi Guys, I was offered this camper by a customer of mine who saw my Fleetline standing at ,my shop and wanted to know if I was interested in another one he had, that has been standing next to his garage for three years. With nothing to lose I went and looked at it and it now stands next to the other fleetline at my shop. It needs a coat of paint but the body is rust free. It has a s/p 1600 engine in which started up after cleaning the carb, replacing fuel filter and lines. Im sure the windows are from a canopy and will require changing. The roof flips up to the drivers side and the canvas has a small rip in it, which i will have repaired. I will keep you all updated on progress. :hangloose:

Thanks guys I appreciate the positive feedback. I will be replacing those horrible windows with louvre type ones. Im at the Supa Quick and you can ask for Deon, Dr Watson also works but sounds much too formal :lol:

If it were mine I'd keep the right side window, fill in the left rear window, and fit kombi cargo doors with factory windows. Problem with all hacked-in windows is they don't have the factory frame that allows them to sit flush; they always stand proud of the body.

Thanks for your advice Fig, I think Ill go with your suggestion on keeping the right side window but still fitting a louvre unit. I have a set of fleetline doors with the
original windows that I will fit.(Thanks Bugger) :hangloose: Blanking off the hole where that "AWESOME" :mrgreen: looking canopy window is shoudnt be a problem.
