My Winnebago

I always wanted a Winnebago

I always wondered what it would be like to go around Australia in a Winnebago.

I would go to the place at Belmont were they sold them, and dream of having one.

Last Christmas my wife sent to America and bought me one.

This is how it looked when I got it.

After researching historical info about Tonka’s version of a Winnebago, I restored it to this.

It is fitted out like a real one

It was in good condition didn’t have to do much work to it.

It’s very tiny toy but looks good.

This one was a challenge as there was a lot of moving parts

Done

Snow Plough

Recently, I bought a snow plough and restored it.

I had never seen one of these in Australia, so I was excited to acquire it and had fun restoring it.

I wanted one for a long time. This loader was in very good condition, with some rust and the stickers were faded and worn.

My wife reproduced the stickers and I have fully restored it it looks great

The jeep was manufactured in New Zealand, according to the sticker on the back, in the 1960s
