'67 11 window that's been around a bit, oh and our first bus

Post by Sam Smith »

Hello everyone

After 18 months of saving, scrimping and sacrifice, my wife and I finally took the plunge in April and bought this 11 window from Colin over in Perth. We're absolutely delighted with it and it is now blue-slipped and rego'd in NSW.

We've got big plans for it that include a Red9 front end, disc brakes and a straight axle conversion. So unfortunately it looks like we'll be missing Valla, however we'll be trying hard to make Old Bar.

The interior we still want it to be a camper and when expenses allow we may even go for an oven inside. Speaking of the interior can anybody help us find some curtain poles. Please have a look at this link: viewtopic.php?p=158579#158579

We've been lucky enough to have met some of you already at Berry and The Nationals and would just like to say thank you to the warm welcome that we've received. If only all car clubs were this friendly.

Take care

Sam and Jodi

matt aka busman clipper matt did the 1st 2 week resto on your bus, the spotties were to replicate a clipper, he towed it behind his clipper...

Your bus is a true Byron Bay hippie bus, we found it in the hills behind byron, amongst some green stuff...
