Gday all.

Ive been on here for a little while now. A bit about me, I own a 1957
panelvan that requires a fair bit of work. Ive been collecting parts for it now for a few months and have had some invaluable assistance from members of the forum, and will no doubt require more in the future. Im currently deployed OS with the Army currently, and intend to get straight into my van as much as I can when I return. Its going to be my daily driver and will be a full resto rather than the rat look, as it's been sandblasted. Ill be living in the Brisbane area, just moved from Townsville and have been in contact with a member from the Sunny Coast, so would be good to meet up with other Split owners.

Cheers Chris

Don't we all need help...some more than others (me) as we like/ love V.W.'s

I'm a newbie with typing issues but I'll say "Hi" as well Chris.
You say deployed "with" the Army... does that mean you "in" or sent "along" as..? Just asking, maybe you can't be specific....
