New Barndoor owner

Post by Mitchvwnut »

Hi guys,

My name is Mitch, I’m 25 years old, I live in Tamworth NSW. I’m new on the DSK but I’ve been around Veedubs a while now.
I own a 54 oval which is being restored and a ratty 62 bug I bought on my honeymoon which I daily around town.

Last week I picked up my first split kombi, a 54 11 window barndoor. I’ll create a thread and post pictures and more Info over in the members rides section.

Looking forward to watching the build.
You need an app like photo compress to reduce the photo size, then upload away👍

Or you can email the pics to yourself and they'll be resized in the process. Looking forward to the build thread, and welcome.
Squat, place chin on chest, tuck head and tip forward, shoulders connect with ground and back follows through, legs go over the top and feet land on the ground. That's how I roll!
