you need to come to Narrooma, all will be revealed. Bottom line. Get something sooner than later, as prices continue to rise...yes it will have rust unless it's been end to end restored - but then the rust process begins again if you dont keep it in a humidi-crib...

Most can be fixed. You don't seem to be talking about basket cases, just something ratty. Don't worry about it too much.

If you dont fancy doing the work yerself, then you should talk to (in no political order) ... some of the DSKers in business that will help you (not fleece you).

Andrew Dodd Automotive, Kombi Rescue - featuring Old Man Tony on Bass - Indian Automotive in Sydney.

Best place to start ... go to a few shows and have a look and a chat with some fellow DSKers. Try the Euro Day in Newcastle in Feb.

dont be to worried about parts almost anything you will need is available new or second hand for arond 10g's at the moment you should be able to pick up a runner that needs work from there you will have to decide what direction you take and how much you want to spend and as ccc says come to the events this will give you a much better idea

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much everyone for all the advice and links on getting hooked up with replacement panels. There's so much great stuff out there.

I've been asking around, and a friend has told me that there's a technical manual on all the parts and stuff in a vw T1 splitscreen kombi, which pretty much details everything that went into its manufacture, which would give me a good idea on how everything is supposed to look, even down to the size of the bolts they used in putting it all together, and if you were to modify it, the minimal safety requirements and such. He's more of a Toyota Corolla fan though, lol, so he only has manuals on ke70's. But hey, I thought I'd give it a shot and ask around if anyone would happen to know where I could buy this kind of manual? I think it'd be pretty helpful, especially since I'm not very mechanically minded -___-"

oh and did i mention I saw this beautiful blue splitscreen driving down the hume highway the other day!!! My eyes almost popped out of my head

lol it was soooo haaawwwt!!! ahah, hopefully, i'll be driving one of those babys one day

ahhh... well for now i can only dream.. ^_^"
