Yeah, grab a pic if you see it again. I'd like to have a record of all the colour schemes. The combos I know of are:

Red body - yellow and orange stripes
Black body - 2 tone blue stripes
Light blue - orange & yellow stripes
Yellow body - 2 tone green stripes
Green body - ???
White - ???

I've got that sundowner sticker on another van shell.. maybe I'll screen print up a new one to match my new paint. Cheers. COZ

so coz were are u and your vans situated?

spewin the van wasn't there today. i hope it hasnt gone.. i was unsure if it was a runner, but im rding the pushy in 2morrow and ill take the camera again so hopefully its there and not lost forever.
it was a white one and im pretty sure it had either yellow and a red stripes or yellow and orange....

can u please posta a pic of that sundowner sticker as id like a copy of it as if i ever get mine painted im gunna run one on the rear door..
anyway heres all the sundowner info i have acumultaed off the net...
if anyone has anything (pics ads ect..) i have missed can they please add it here..
ive also herd from an unreliable source that the sundowner van is one of the worlds rarest (smallest production run) Escorts. anyone wanna back that up or give us there thoughts?

Well after two-ish years, the project has now taken a different direction than what I had first planned. We're now going for a back to original restoration rather than a custom pimp mobile. There'll be a few deviations from strict stock but all in all will be looking much like it did when it rolled off the floor. The two main changes will be fatter tyres and rims for a tougher looking stance on the road & a mildly worked engine. The following is list of work ( mainly body ) that I will be ticking off as summer approaches. From the back of the van to the front, work needed is as follows:

- Sand & prep barn doors, replace glass
- Sand & prep & paint rear bumpers
- Sand & prep rear door hinges
- Strip sills, re-seal
- Finish rust removal on rear wheel arch
- Fix dents in interior wheel arches
- Fix dents in side body panels
- Replace bubble window chrome strips
- Remove rust/replace a-pillars
- Fix, sand & prep front doors
- Sand mirrors & prep
- Sand & prep bonnet
- Sand, prep & paint front bumpers, locate new bolts & stand-offs
- Sand & prep remaining body work
- Realign driver's side quarter panel
- Re-sand engine bay
- Prep removable dome, install rubber
- Rivet dome screw holes
- Replace headlights
- Remove, clean, prep & replace sunroof

That's a lot of sanding & prepping. I best get to it. Hopefully seeing everything in one big list will motivate me to do each little bit by bit & slowly get the job done. Sometimes it seems like there's so much to do that I never make a start.

hey that pic is of my sundowner i owned years back, liam built it and i bought it from him....somewhere in my archives i have the corel draw graphics of all the sundowner graphics, it will take a while to go through them all but i can get them if you need them.

yeah i know the car... classic ford did a feature om it back in 2000. i bout that issue the day after i purchased my sundowner.. and it was the article on that pine lime sundowner that made me realise that i had purchased a sundowner and not a normal van.

and im pretty sure its up for sale again on car sales last week, there was a pine lime sundowner van sitting on rebels for $6000...

it would be great if i could get a copy of those graphics as well..... if thats not to much trouble.

i will get them for you...they were te grahics used to re-create the graphics on that very van.

cant promise how long it will take me to find the buggers though, but i am onto it

thanks mate... do u know where that old sundowner of yours is now... was it for sale on carsales?

i dont know to be honest, i sold it to a young kid and he used it as his daily...it showed signs of wear last time i seen it...i think isaw it for sale a year or so ago too but have lost touch with it now...wishi bloody kept it hey, cos when i had it, it was perfect! a credit to liam whom restored it
