My first time on here as a member is the SSVC
I will start by saying what a great site and club this is I have been watching in the back ground for a long time and Loving all your amazing projects............ I have always loved the split screen buses and always dreamed of owning one and about 3 weeks ago i took the jump and got myself a 2 owner RHD Devon camper 1966 ...... She is in a bad way but i will take my time to rebuild her and get her back on the road were she belongs. I will admit that as I've never even owned a VW car let alone a split screen bus so I will be sucking all the info and advise I can from anyone that is up for helping me though this restoration when I get stuck ... The photos you all put on here are a GREAT help and I give you all the greatest respect for the way you all get stuck in.
I will put some pic on here once i have sorted out how to do it.
Looking forward to making some great friend on here
regards
Mark
