Hi Joe,
Just a quick "Merry Christmas".
I'm sure that I speak for everyone in saying that we miss your posts.
I hope that the New Year is a good one for you all and that you get your projects back on track.
Take care.
Alan :D :D :D

Hey Joe, caught your you-tube series while thinking about getting into this Kombi game... enjoyed it much... now I have a 62 bus/ rust thing and seem to be embarking on a similar restoration adventure as yourself.
Have read your entire thread now a couple of times and will check back through it and the video clips in the coming months while I nut out how to undo what has been done up for 50 years or replace what has rusted away over the same 50 years. :)

All the best, Luke

Hi all
God its been so long :cry:
The shed is in the same place we tucked away all those months ago, no movement at all. I made a bet with a mate if its not up by the end of the year I owe him what I paid for the shed (Thank god it was just $50 ).

The van has been safley parked at Damo's but after a long patient wait (I cant believe its been nearly two years) its time to give Damo the space back. So now I'm looking at options of where to store it.
Are there any covers anyone can suggest that would protect it enough out in the elements?
Better late than never!

I bought the silver tarps from bunnings a little pricey but work great and are thick. Whats happened to your shed?
