I've been lurking around for a few weeks, thought I should say hello.

Hello.

I'm really new to VW's and have been mulling over the idea of getting one. By the looks of things it might be a bit hard, as you guys are completely bonkers! I've never seen such tenacity. And the freaking restorations! Many of the Buses I've seen look to have one wheel in the grave, but you fellas just pull em out, give them what looks like a buff, and a couple of photos later they're better than new; you make it look so easy.

Keep it up lads. Its great to see that these Buses wont fade away, and I hope that I'll have my own tales to spin soon.

Ben.

Welcome Ben. We all started from the same place. There's no doubt that if you've been bitten by the bus bug, you'll soon be buffing your own. Plenty of help here. Don't be shy to ask.
Cheers
Brad

Thanks Brad. The bug has well and truly bit.


Ben.

Welcome Ben,
Good luck with your search.
You will find plenty of helpful folk on here to help you with any questions or help that you might need.

Tip......don't buy the first rust bucket that you find (unless you have deep pockets). Seek advise and opinions from trustworthy sources before buying.
When you do find one, don't post its location on any forum, until it is in your garage, otherwise their will be a convoy of cars and trailers heading in that general direction looking for that split.

Cheers

John

Thanks John,

I'll definitely be ask plenty of questions this year. In fact I was thinking that I might just spend a little more and start on something that'll need less work, just to get to know em better.

And thanks for the advice.



Ben.

Hey Ben,

Pretty new to all this as well, ask questions on here and you'll get honest answers from a very knowledgable group.

Best

Welcome mate I was in your position a few years back. A good time is keep a eye on the For Sale section on this site at least that way you have a fair idea it is not too bad to fix up

It's not just the guys, the girls are just as crazy round here. This forum is a great place to start. With money, dedication, research and more money, anything can be on the road again and enjoyed how it should be!

Ash

Thanks Ash. Got the fever from getting bit, and i keep looking at the for sale section.

Ash. Preaching to the choir here! And pardon me for my bad grammar.

welcome to the forum, enjoy the buzz

Welcome, you've taken your first step to splittydom. I bought my first splittty somewhat reluctantly for $1000 (naively thought they were hippy transport) in 1999 and haven't looked back since!

Cheers
