Cool. Thanks for the vids. It has confirmed two things, no matter where in the world, old Kombis never die they just become storage; and it always rains on the day you want to get stuff done. Look forward to seeing the progress.

nice vids ,a bit of a tip when your unlocking doors after years of being closed make sure you put wd40 or similar on hinges as when you force the door when it finally opens your actually also bending the hinges and frame ,lots of pressure there

Marcin,

Funky music! Looks like a lot of snow in your yard - you guys are having a cold Winter. Must be hard to get motivated to work in your shed on the bus...

Waiting for the next vid... :)
