A split decision

[PimpMyKombi]

Hi welding people

My name is Joe and I'm from sunny Australia
In April this year I woke up one day and without thought went out and bought a rusted 61 split screen kombi. I dont know why, I just did (to the horror of my family) I've never restored a car or welded in my life so I had a challenge on my hands.
I did a short course in mig welding and off I went, learning a lot from youtube videos. Here is a youtube clip I made as part of my resto

I've still got a lot to learn but I'm having a lot of fun

Welcome to the forum Joe, Youtube video is a good media for showing your work, some nice metal bashing and shaping there, very interesting.

We have an invention in the UK called a workbench, saves sitting on cold floors and acquiring bad backs

Hehe sorry, daft joke... welcome to the forum!

I told you I have a lot to learn
Now I have to research work benches, good one

How did you manage to find a rusty one in Australia? I thought that's were all the good ones came from.
Did someone park it in the sea whilst surfing or something?

Be good to see some real pictures on the forum. Good luck with the restoration. I think a split screen camper is one of the few projects my missus would actually approve of me taking on.

Welcome to the madhouse Joe, its a great place for some really helpful advice (even if they are mostly poms ) lol
Just watched some of your vids, great stuff and i love your choice of background music. You shold start a project thread, it would be very informative reading

Hello Joe

Your first youtube clip is better than most tv programmes. Cracking job.


Great choice of music too.
Going to watch the rest now.
