Hi
Are you still living in the same place? I've driven past a few times but I was unsure whether to knock on the door.

Hey Steve, yep still in the same place. I always look at the faces of the men in the NRMA vehicles that drive by - you still with NRMA?

Hi
Still with NRMA, who owns the black Kombi near your place?

Indeed you must! I'd be really keen to see it. It belongs to the guy who is on the corner. It just sits there...Not sure if he has any plans for it.
He always seems to have a few cars lying around.

Hi Steve,
I think a lot of these are old photos of the build when Mick had it and also newer photos from the new owner. Mick had different interior and a water
to air intercooler if I am correct. So the posting on Production Automotive is from the new owner. That's My 2c
Looking good still and hope to see it around. Mick will be kicking himself

Seems it has flogged out and i need to replace it.

cheers Daimo.
yeah it's a job for someone with the right tools. so will be off to a mech to fix.
Box itself seems to be holding up ok. still pretty quiet although reverse is noisy as hell.
