new '58 bus, new member sunny coast
Hi, I have just become the proud owner of a '58 11 window bus, its a project bus in need of some love and bit of new metal. It will be a rotisserie build and the metal work will be tig welded. I have built a few really neat cars from scratch, but I am a genuine numpty as far as vw's go. I am a huge fan of the old splittys, and will be really keen to learn from the wealth of knowledge that is this forum. cheers~matt

Re: new '58 bus, new member sunny coast
Here is some pics of the beast, will be little while before i can start on it, still putting the finishing touches on my previous car build.
My brother Jonny borrowed me a trailer and helped me drag it home with his patrol about 2 and a half hours to my place.
The attention the rusty old thing got at servos and such on the way home was quite excessive, almost weird.

Re: new '58 bus, new member sunny coast
Welcome to Dsk.
Good to have another early bus up here on the coast.
Bus looks really dry and pretty solid, theres a few of us up here in Caloundra and the surrounds, be good to hook up.

Re: new '58 bus, new member sunny coast
Cheers, the bus is pretty solid ontop, the chassis is probably below par though i think. It will be 6 months or so before i get seriously started on the resto, i will start a build thread once i get into it. I am still browsing for parts right now to make it easier in the long run, also trying to learn a bit too at this stage.
