G'day all DSKers

Post by DRHEMS3 »

Hi Guys!

I have been browsing this great forum for many months now and thought it was about time I said G'day.

Recently made the 2000km round trip to QLD to seal the deal on this bus and bring her home.
Its a 56 11 window, The rust is minimal and so is the list of parts that came with it.
I have started doing bits and pieces but finding it hard at the moment until I move house.

Plans are - Uncover the dove blue paint, Chop the rust, Slam and roll - Daily driver!

I will soon start a thread in members rides and projects, Cheers, Darren

Thanks guys, it was well worth the trip, although the rust is minimal there is still a fair bit. The front end is the worst inc front wheel arches. I'll keep it updated in members rides and projects.
Can't wait to drive a splitty on a daily basis
