My '66 kombi from NZ...update
Hi,
Been on here a while but never had a good pic of my van to post. Went to the NZ Nationals over Easter with a friend who had a camera, so have a few
shots finally!
It's a '66 that I bought off some monks in a retreat up in the bush about 4 years ago now. It had been stored unused in a barn for 17 years, so was
solid. I've added lots of accessories and use it as my daily driver, it's my first and only vw I've owned.
Hopefully the attachment works.

Hi Man
Dead set, can't do much better than that for your first VW. Very nice indeed!
What are the VW shows like over there, and what are the names of some of the big ones. I have a friend that is thinking of moving over there for a
couple of years, and he wants to find out about the NZ scene.

The show scene is pretty lame compared to other parts of the world. We have the Nationals every Easter, and the Spring Jamboree in Oct/Nov, that's
about it! There are a few cruises throughout the year as well.
There are some pretty awesome vehicles over here though, for a small country there's a lot of stuff hiding away.

Hey Dan, SICK BUS!!! Can I be so rude as to ask how much it set you back? And what's the market for splitties like over there? Are the prices going
through the roof, same as over here?

Prices for good buses are going up just like everywhere. But there's still some good ones to be found.
I bought mine off some monks for NZ$5000, but have put heaps more into it since then!

You've got to look in some wierd places sometimes!
Heard a story about a 23 window over here that was bought from a cult. Their 'king' was driven around in it, he sat in the back and used an intercom
to tell the driver where to go!

That was around the time I had it stripped and painted. It wasn't in for lowering at that stage though, that had already been done.
Must have been my bus though, there is only one other red/white split I know of, and he's all stock.

I know that guy too as I'm originally from Rotorua, his barn is huge (full of judson's and other rare stuff!).
I remember that bus, the bolts holding the end of the springplates and the bearing housing came off and the wheel dissapeared round under the back!
They were extremely lucky no-one was hurt.

Update!
Here's my van with it's new front end, running disks, a booster, and narrowed. The rear now has adjustable springplate too.
Hopefully the pics work and aren't too big!
