    My Carawagon arrived today

    I finally got my Carawagon down from Qld.
    Pretty excited to get started on it.
    It will need a full mechanical rebuild as it hasn’t been used for 39 years

    Congratulations, should keep you busy for a while.

    I see it has the rear pull out awning (well I can see the frame), how complete is the interior ?

    I’ve got the tent for the frame and the seat that converts to a bed but the cupboards have all been removed unfortunately.
    It still has its original engine and came with two additional engines and has a gal chassis

    No not standard.
    The guy that I bought it off used it between 72-80 for mostly family camping trips in Fraser Island
    Then he fitted the gal chassis then it’s been stored since.

    We managed to get it in my garage which was a bit of a mission as the driveway is steep and narrow and the carawagon doesn’t run.
    I placed the Hilux in the back yard and ran the winch through the garage back door via a snatch block which worked out fine.
    Now I can start working on it.

    The rear awning tent has seen better days but will definitely work as a pattern for a new one.
    The curtains all seem to present and in good condition

    I’ve been clearing all the bits out of the rear.
    Pretty frustrated how the PO stacked the gear inside.
    The plan is to retain the paint/patina but the passenger door now has some serious scars from being transported down.

    That's a shame about the scrapes on the door.
    I'm paranoid about moving panels in the back of a car or trailer and take bits of cardboard, blankets etc.
