Hi Everyone , I am brand new here so will try my best to keep you all updated with picy's.
Story goes, I have always wanted a splitty so thought now would be a good time , I have a friend on here who was looking around for me and being from the UK originally and still working over there was keeping a look on things over there as well , as luck would have it I was telling my brother my plans and he just happened to be renting a house out to a couple who's son restores them , so i got in touch with the guy and a partnership was struck , he found the bus for me picked it up and is doing the full resto I will include pictures as and when i get them it is getting dipped and blasted as we speak, any tips and things that need doing to get it rego in QLD would be greatly appreciated ,IE seat belts and things that need doing .
Thanks in advance
Greg
PS don't know how to upload pic's yet!!!
