G'day Mr Pickle,tell me from your end as you have what we dream about and we have what you dream about!
As in you have all the great stuff to lower and safari and modify which costs us 3 times the price to get it here,
and we seem to have all the good raw material to put it on but you can't get enough of.Are you guys going to run out of unrestored splitscreens soon but will have heaps of accessories leftover?
Are you guys really running out of busses to do up as they say?
I would guess that there must be an end when all have been found and there are none left to restore....how boring will that be,you won't here"found on farm in barn stored for 25 years"anymore,it will be more like"Resto of a 5 year ago resto but a bit better.

Its true in a way about us not having many unrestored splits left but we do have a few left....... I hope! But its a fact we are running out of totaly unrestored splits. The vans and other veedubs we do have here are some of the best and we just love accessories :D I didn't know the parts cost so much over your way tho, looking at your for sale notices I'ld say its cheaper for you in oz thats why we keep buying vw from oz. I hope its not to expensive in oz tho because I'm looking to move there one day, maybe I'll just bring a boat load of parts with me ;)
Cheers for the words about me bus :D
