my plan to get it roadworthy and registered soon started to get very far away, luckily i had plenty of help from friends weather i needed it or not,
motivation soon started to kick in and i started to see the light at the end, although getting it to the RW state i wasnt too fussed with asthetics i
just wanted to drive it and enjoy, so the van was just tidied up and mechanicaly sorted.
a rough total of 40 matt black spray cans were used to cover the sexy german metal and some damn nice bbs wheels were bolted on for good measure. mind
you i always had plans for this van but being still at school and having a job that pays as much as a nike sweat shop worker i really had some doubts
although i was stoked that i had even made it this far.

and then it was time for me to wet rub this baby down, with precise instructions from the pro at hand i got stuck into it. mmm nice reflection eh!, i
soon had an even geater appreciation for ppl who do this every day, finger tips bleeding, panels turning into a marage and just the damn size of the
panels!!ahhh this took ages!! but was all totally worth it. learning every step of the way with the pro watching over my shoulder i can now say that
IT IS ALL IN THE PREP WORK!!!

I have to say, I am glad to see there are young people these days that are willing to work real hard for what they want. You are one of them. And
always willing to help others too.

Lets start with - i am old
That said - the wheels are not my choice
BUT THE BODY WORK AND PAINT
Glad to see you pick a solid colour
It saddens me to see people put SO MUCH wor in a car and then paint it some strange colour
Well done Nutter

I think I saw you stopped in the service station in Bulleen. I was in the orange/white kombi at the lights.
Cool looking bus!
