I got sick or something and woke up buying a kombi

Post by joeM »

Hi all, I'm joe
If you would have told me at the start of this year that I would buy a split screen kombi, I would have laughed for a week.
But here I am now waiting for the weekend when my 62 kombi panel van gets delivered. Not in the best of condition and without a motor, I somehow convinced the family that this was a great idea.
So armed with great great enthusiasm I now venture on the journey like so many of you to restore a piece of history.
Hope you guys can guide me along the way as I'm very new to this level of restoration :D
