Hello from TAS!

Post by perkypeterson »

Hello there!

After owning a couple of bay windows for the last few years, I started searching for a splitty in Tassy. 2 years later and i just picked up my first serious project!
I'm pretty sure its a '67 model, and come with LOTS of rust and only half a roof :cry: but its a start! Also came with heaps of rust repair panels aswell! I definatly think i may need to practice the welding skills! :shock: Being an upholsterer, the inside should be alot easier! haha.

Looking forward to learning more about splits!

Not sure how many other tasmania DSK'ers there are?

Cheers! Jamon.
