First post to say G'day

Post by Senator Rust »

First post on dsk. I've signed up so I might as well post something.
I've been around VW's most of my life and probably spent every family holiday as a kid in the back of a kombi driving all over Australia.

My first car was a 72 Type 3 Squareback that I got when I was 14 and restored with my Dad's help. My 1965 Microbus Deluxe wasn't running when I bought it in 1992 and nearly 20 years later it still isn't running but I still have her. So I guess I'm luckier than some. I'll psot a few pix soon but just thought I'd say G'day.

I'll set something up on photobucket but until then here's a couple of pics of the bus being moved from where I've stored it for the last 10 years.

Thanks for the welcome.

You are going to reap the rewards of keeping it for so long and storing it nice and dry. Well done indeed sir! 8) Welcome.
Imagine what you would do if you knew you couldn't fail.
