Hi Guys
First up, sorry for taking so long to put the old girl on DSK. It has been on KC for a while and I just had to get around to putting it on here

I finally found a Splitty from the evilbay. It was in the middle of nowhere in Crows Nest and was quite an adventure to find. We will be slowly restoring her back to her former glory.
All the history I know on her is that she has been undercover in a garage for 15 years at Crows Nest as a cubby house.
She has been fully painted in house paint over that time (hence the flowers) which has done a pretty good job of protecting it from the weather.

Here a couple of piccys of the trip and of us, starting to strip her down.
By the way the primer that has been put on is just to protect the bare metal in till it’s ready for further loving soon

























































































































Hopefully that’s enough piccys to look at till next update

Looks good. Making good progress. Where abouts in Bris are you located ?
Mick

Just in Bulimba
You wouldnt happen to live in Hawthorne as in the 4171 area?
If so that would be so cool

excellent, solid bus... keep us informed please

Nice work Jack - looks like you are making good progress! Looks better thus far than what I expected from the pics I got from ebay.

Good stuff
Al

Jack you and Hoves will have more in common than you think in about a months time

Nice. She looks straight as.

That's a great story. Doesn't need words. Makin' a big ol mess there in the front yard. Splitty's taking over. Looks like a great one to start with too. I'll recover that front seat of yours for nix. Can't have that floral thing goin' on. Congrats, looks like you're on a winner there.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Yeah she is in too bad of shape Al, but that gutter on the left hand side should be some good fun

Hoves and I will have more in common hey? Im looking forward to finding that one out

Thanks 65busser its always good fun, but I might have to take you up on your offer a bit later on down the track

Hey mate, great to see some pics here on DSK. I have been watching this one on the kombi club forum. Great to see another Brisbane bus.

Nice one - looks pretty solid.

Was this where the semaphores would have been?



Are you gonna try and get a set and get them working again or would it be too hard if they've been welded up?

Cheers

Nick.

Hi Nick
I say we will be putting semaphores back in the old girl
They are just a couple of little tack welds

Hey Jack - yep, hawthorne mate. I thought those streets and houses looked familiar. Have sent you a PM with some details. Be good to catch up.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update, the whole outside of the kombi is finally finished being sanded!
Now for the next piece of exciting news, last Saturday we dropped the kombi up to Alan (Dasdubber) for him to carry out the rest of the resto
