"Cough, cough". Is this in the correct section Blocker? The old guy with the gavel doesn't look like you.

On topic though, those will get a lot more than $15,000 , even rusty. No one gets quite as carried away as a VW enthusiast at an auction.

Ahh you got me, sorry about that I posted from my mobile phone. I've moved it to the correct section now.

Yes Goat that'll be you in 5 years time... btw I have found the bonnet for the blue HJ you're welcome to come and pick it up.

Lets be honest, with my hoarding that's going to be me in another 50 years.

Me too, but with 40 series landcruisers and parts.

Wow, Kombi's are very popular. We have The Kombi Shop here, where full restoration's happen. The prices of Kombi's, once restored, make an equivalent restored Sandman look like a bargain.

40 series are cool.

Yes they are.

I've got a couple of Shorty projects stashed at the farm and every time I see an FJ45 on the road I think about trying to find one.

I've got a '73 tray back that I did a bare chassis rebuild on 20 years ago, but it's in need of a second time around. About to pick up an '82 diesel in used but good original condition for a couple of grand to keep original as a survivor and drive. Been collecting parts and panels for when the '73's rerun comes. Doesn't need much to be honest, so should have a good collection to choose from.

Love the Kombis too, but probably stick to what my very basic skills are capable of.

My Eldest brother was a combi nut. Used to build up engines in his bedroom. Mum just shut the door. They are pretty simple to restore now. Lots of repo parts. That split window tranporter and the split window van will go for serious money. Maybe double the 15,000?
