Hi from Perth

[gaz]

Hi to all, ive been lurking around DSK for a while gathering info, tips and stuff and now wish to introduce myself.
I live in sunny WA and have been into Vdubs all my life, I currently drive a 72 cross over low light bay and own a very dilapidated 59 split awaiting resurection, my plans are to get it up and running but remain Ratty. As you can see its a major job, (im not a welder) I've seen many good looking Splits on here to inspire me, looking forward to chatting to you all and hi to a few local WA guys i see are on here





Cheers Gaz

Splitty Resto That thing would still be registered in WA wouldnt it

Welcome to DSK Gaz. Nice early bus you have there. Make sure you keep us up to date with the progress

[gaz]

Thanks guys....I wish it was registered

It's gunna be a long term project. Just slowly collecting panels and parts and as much info as possible at the moment.
The whole bottom 6 inches is rusted out...floor, nose, doors, dog legs, chassis and the ribbed panel/floor above the engine.

Where to start

Welcome mate, nice that the bus still has the interior panels.

Mango originally?

[gaz]

Yes most of the interior panels are there except the cargo doors and long side, would be pretty hard to match them up
