Hello Melbourne,

I am driving round Oz in my Kombi and have stopped here for three months to make enough cash to carry on. My bus is in need of painting big time. The boddy is good with little or no rust but has been repaited for a quick sale( I was the buyer) and is peeling off. I have all the paint. It is good quality 2 pot and is the origonal colour. I have all the thinners and tape but nothing else including the ability to paint. Can you help me do it cheaply as cash is an issue. If you cant help who should I call.

Ta

Philip

Try offering beer?
This brings them out of the wood work.
Where abouts are you?
You could try and set up a working bee.:beer:beer

I have just been given two brand new deep cycle batterys. They are slightly smaller than a standard car battery and have a 20 hour capacity. They were for a mobility scooter but were never needed. I was thinking about putting both in wired in paralel (sorry about spelling). Are thay suitable? Would be used to run radio, fridge and light.

I plan to put in an additional battery and this is how I will do it (the first method)
