Just interested to find out how many kombi owners in South Asutralia would be interested in joining the national Kombi Club, as it is just getting started how about just seeing who owns what (post a pic if possible)and where in the state you are.
I dont think there will be many as I know about a dozen or so people who own buses and are interested in a club ,but they dont visit here.

Alright I will post the first pic, you've twisted my arm.

Seat looks a bit dodgy, it is the original, I wanted to keep something in the bus that hasnt been restored, It had a really small rip about 1 cm long,
I must admit it could also do with a bit more padding.

Cheers

Nothing yet, just geting an idea of numbers.
Saw your bus today, not bad,
Roy will get the club sorted and then we will have a member club in each state.

What happened on Friday, not many turned up.

See you Wednesday

Cheers

Sell it and buy a Holden




Only joking, its pretty good for the money.
Needs the usual but its all there and you can drive it and do bits as you go.

I personally wouldnt go 135's on a bus, they carry a bit more weight and you are sitting right on top of the wheels. And defo not legal.
Smallest I would go is 165 which was basically the same as the original ones that were fitted, except they are radials.

Would look good with the 5's for sure.

Should have no problems, depends really on the offset of the wheels.
