Hello fellow vaners, Can any of you sundowner owners point me in the direction to where I can get some new decals from? Or anyone not to far from north west Sydney and wouldn't mind me measuring yours up? Decals that is.

From posting on page 2 of this thread, dated 25/11/07.
"There was an RS van. It was a one-off factory number for a Mr Bob Holden. Yellow with side windows, and a red Mexico-style stripe down the side. As far as I know, it no longer exists (not sure on exact circumstances)."
Bob Holden was supplied a new Escort panel van from Ford Motor Company that had received slight front end panel damage during unloading from the transporter prior dealer delivery. From what I understand Bob was given the car, he repaired the damage and fitted the RS2000 nosecone himself as an extra. The car definitely did not have an RS2000 nosecone as from Ford.
The car was painted yellow and red and highly modified by Bob himself. I was priveleged to test drive it in 1984 and was very impressive.
Bob still owns this exact car and drives it regularly, which is now white, with standard panel van front (no nosecone) and 1600 Kent engine. I should have some piccies somewhere, will post up when I find them.

This photo was taken at the RSOC (Aust) Display and Concourse Day Parramatta Park November 2008. Bob Holden's panel van is the white one, my van is the light blue van.

i started my ford escort love affair with 1975 Mk1 panel van, 2L (with crummy flames across the front), lotsa bog but excellent panel work inside. Burst a fuel line coming home one day - had the fire brigade help me put it out... 1976 Mk2 panel van, 1.6L webber, lowered and re-spray... had to go when the first bub came along - but it was starting to rust away before my eyes... looked at a 1980 sundowner (original) - and nearly bought it... they looked cool, but i couldnt pay the $6k at the time...  now (my third) is the 1979 Mk2 GL 4-door, 1.6... can fit a baby seat in the back - and i am finding the sedan has less rust-prone areas than the panel van (twin skin roof folds were always going, as well as around the panel van windows)... but, seeing these photo's has brought a tear in the eye - got good memories of stuff (including mates) rolling around in the back when i have drifted the panel van round a corner... well done guys - keep the panno's goin!

Hi all, first post on this forum, I notice some names here I recognise from the RSM forum. Never guessed that wouls be bob's car, looks nothing like one of his his racecars  Here's an upcoming project for me, a '79 2.0 Sundowner. There's a couple other projects in the queue first so don't expect much soon!   Cheers
