Man you have to leave it just like it is, that thing is awesome, dont change a thing!!


kombikim - August 18th, 2003 at 08:09 AM

that is fantastic, the wood must weigh a bit! i am sure I have seen that rear side window somewhere- looks like it may be from a boat!


HotRodMatt - August 18th, 2003 at 09:27 AM

Great looking find!

Adam looks impressed too!


HotRodMatt - August 18th, 2003 at 09:28 AM

The interior must weigh a tonne!

But here's an idea - you must have seen the similarity.

Hey good score dame,your little man looks like hes got a qwiff like his oldman..

What a massive job to collect it. It was placed in a backyard as a feature years ago by a crane lifting it over the house as there was no rear access to the yard!!! It was placed above a pond and had a water tube runnung along the sill which ran into the pond like a waterfall. Anyway, the garage was pulled down during the week which allowed me to get the van out. 4 flat tyres and rear wheel held on to bare axles with house bricks and wire made a 3 hour job of putting it on the trailer. When I got home I strapped it to the house and drove the trailer from under it.

I had some rear drums at home that I mounted yesterday and have fitted the van now with standard kombi rims with whitewalls all round. It rolls perfectly now.:thumb

HA !!!!:D Good on you HOTROD MAT. Very funny mate.

Adam is very happy, as I gave the kombi to him. Wish I had my own splitty when I was 3.:kiss

Hey Rhys, what kombi??, the splitty??

Hey Dame, Adam is a little "mini me", and aren't I proud.:kiss:kiss
