New recruit from over the pond

Hi,

Was directed over here by another bus mad Kiwi, but haven't had much time to post (only have computer at work!). Have done a bit of reading though.

I am busless at the moment, but am on the lookout for another project. I'm going to be returning to NZ (from London) in time for Xmas, so the real hunt will start then. I have found finding a bus it relatively easy, compared to getting someone to actually sell!!!

This was my last effort: '66 Kombi - (hopefully it's not too big!)

One thing I would like to ask is, with my last bus I used stuff from Creative Engineering. There was a place over in Oz that was selling their stuff (ClassicVW), are they still around? Could someone let me know their web address?

Cheers, Daniel.

Yup, it's got the bolt in IRS kit and adjustable spingplates in back. And uses the Chief's late model disk kit up front (then adapters to the wheels).

I was refering to the rack and pop-outs from CE, just hoping the shipping from Aus will be a it better than from the UK!

Can't wait to get into a new project, the 66 was my first bus so learnt a lot through that, so hopefully the next one will be even better.
