Hello from Roxby Dowms

Post by jakepeg »

Hey everyone, thought I would introduce myself. Im Jake and my partner is Tori and we have a 74' Bay Camper with a 1600. Named Shelby, Its in the very early stages of resto.
We bought our Van as a non runner, previous owner wasnt 100% sure what was wrong with it. Then after an Email from GFresh, George came around for a BBQ and a few days later he came round angain and showed me a few things, had a tinker and managed to get it running (pretty nicely at that).
We are all stoked now that there is a bit more progress and hope to start a Build Thread and hope to learn heaps and meet as many VW owners as possible.

Welcome to DSK Jake

make sure you start a build thread in the "Members Other Rides"

Spend some time on here mate and you'll be slamming a split before you know it :wink:

Great hanging out and getting that old girl going, I only wish I still got butterflies when I was about to start something for the first time.

I only get them now when it doesn't start and should, no wait, that's not butterflies, that's a bowl movement called getting the shits!!!

Cheers, George
