COS086

Hi All

I thought that I had better add some photos of the Sundowner Van that I owned a few years ago. I am sorry now that I sold it but at the time I couldn't really keep it. I also didn't know then how rare it actually was.

MFD: 11/1978
VIN No: CK8PUB68XXXR
ENGINE No: CK8PUB68XXXR
MODEL No: 41789
ENGINE: J
TRANS: V

hi cos086 would you still have this gorgeous sundowner? 
 
could you help me with some questions 
 
im doing a replica escort sundowner from a rust free windowless bc van and i just found some genuine side bubble windows, does anyone know the measurements of where the windows go on the side panels 
  
does anyone own a sundowner with the side windows out atm? i need to know the dynamiter of the actual hole as i dont know what gap i need to add for the rubbers when fitted 
  
and where are they located in the panels, need some measurements from the top plus bottom from the inner lip of the boarder lines plus from the back boarder line  inner lip


cheers 

hey guys, ive found a guy that is willing to make the sundowner decals, the problem is his factory is in Kingsgrove sydney and needs a van to make a templete, is there anyone here that has a van that could lone him their car to reproduce the decals, please let me know and i can forward your details to him, or his to you, what ever easier
 
cheers

anyone knows what year model and make this van is?

The RS2000 never really appealed to me, the shape of the front end just doesnt work for such a small car IMHO, not to offend owners, just not for me, however, on a van it just looks right. The picture post here by 'nofear609' works, I guess its the length of the panel after the door pillar, and the fact that it doesnt have rear windows, it sort of balances the extra length of the front end. 
 

 
Here is mine.
