First time on dsk

Post by josh57split »

Hi lads
In process of building 57 11 split
At this stage it's just been sat back on the ground after rebuilding & replacing with a
type 3 box, narrowed 3inch beam and adjustable front and rear
Help/tips driving this site will be appreciated as I'm trying to find a few things to get the bus finished
Cheers josh

Cheers for the welcoming response ' I'm from Warwick qld and the director of MIRROR FINISH smash repairs, Martin '55porshe' panel works for the shop and his knowledge has helped with the build.. On another good note I scored a full front bench and rear seat to suit my bus as I picked them up at the Brisbane airport today :) :) :) :)
Also checked the vin today and turns out my bus is jan 56.
It's been a good day
