New from Central Coast- Cooranbong

Post by Jim981 »

Hey guys. Im a long time kombi lover, who just hasn't found the right bus yet. An Uncle has had an orange T2 bus as long as i can remember, and have had exposure to buses through him. Loved the bucket seats with the walk through! Long term goal is to restore a bus, not just buy a finished project. I want the problems, I want the rust, etc. Am getting on here to maybe find the bus for me, but to just learn from others about their experiences and pitfalls. Im an electrican by trade, but know my way around most things enough to get by.
Got put onto here by Joe, from pimp my kombi. heard the references and thought id check it out.
