Dream Warrior - where is it now?
« on: February 16, 2011, 06:27:03 PM »
Hey all. I remember reading in an old post that 'Dream Warrior' was being restored..

In a Sydney panel shop, I think. Anyone have any leads or pics? I like the back door setup, hoping to replicate on my LWB.

Pics would be awesome!

How about making a mould and selling fibreglass ones?
I would like one for my van as well.
The problem I have is that most of my stories end with... and that is why I am not allowed to go back there!

its this van that has the lift up back door.. i just had a look. not too much work to take a mould.. but

would it matter that it already has a window cut out?

i dont have any shots of the back door at the moment its about an inch away from a tin wall

Nice colour on that van. Looks like a good work in progress.

Hey Benny, what about a fibreglass window panel of the side windows. One panel with the 3 windows in it, just add glass. I think you said when you got it that it was a wrecker, are you still going to wreck it. If so i would glass up a few panels off it first, tailgate, side windows so on.

if you are getting a shed like that we will expect plenty of fibreglass goodies benny. what is 70x40 in meters ? mine is 17x10 meters. are you building it or leasing to do the glass work. Dont do what i did, i have go-karts, dune buggies, ride-on mowers and a bobcat in mine, and then just enough room for the beddy. lol  ;D ;D gotta have room for the beddy. If your building benny, get a hoist, they are dirt cheap at the moment for a 4tonner.
