Dead kombi help required near Newcastle
Weeeeeeeeeeell, after a quick top end rebuild at Valla, my bottom end seems to have expired at Hexham. I need somewhere to have it towed to, and
stored for probably 2 weeks.
Pleez.
Maybe you could post some of the pics here Kol?

Thats... kinda funny. Well hilarious if you consider the alternative of 2 engine rebuilds.
Im home, safe. Fastback is stored in my uncles garage. But kombi is abandoned at a servo. Just need to figure out what engine to put in and how to get
it there.

I'm getting it towed to Spooks place... eventually. Picture the phone conversation with the tow service. I have a kombi to tow from Beresfield to
Adamstown. I wont be there to sign the authorisation. I dont know the guy who I am towing it to, other than over the internet. I cant pay in person
cos I am in Wollongong and nobody has credit card facilities. Sounds a bit dodgy. But I will try to send money and photocopy of ID and see how I go. I
just hope that the servo doesnt get it towed away.
From there I dont know exactly the road to take. Will try to put a dodgy engine together I guess, see if I can get it up there, do a swap, and maybe
make it back.

Relax Chris, your truck will be here by this arvo. It won't be in my way so you can worry about it at your leisure.....
Which is, of course, the up side of "knowing " people on the internet.
