Well works started a few months ago on the new split edition to the family. My wife's 40th surprise present and boy was she surprised
Plan is keeping it ratty out side with the top section old white and new interior. She's named after the classic Jerry Lewis film The nutty professor's character "Miss Purdey" if you haven't seen it download it now!!
Rust you say? yes indeed the whole back pretty much needs rebuilding but the cab it not bad.
Let the fun begin

Gonna be great to follow another 'Niko' build..... and from the looks of that SC from the cab back, a build it will be!
My Dad's Kombi circa 1967 at Taronga Zoo. I'm the light weight with the skinny legs, my older brother is doing the roof jump!

Cheers guys, hopefully this will be a shorter build than sunny sunshine
Here's some aged goodness
And shitty chassis rust
On to the rack again and cutting/welding chassis sections in.

Oh god no, limbo for me, I'm going to leave off the top floor for last so i can do it all from the side
The wifes callin the shots so its original looking maybe a little lower but no slammed or anything radical.

Nice job on the sill repair, what are those fasteners you are using?
