INTRODUCTION
« on: July 04, 2012, 11:55:55 PM »
Hi all, I'm Russell O, I've been into vans since 1976 when I bought my first van, a white HJ Holden. I joined the South Australian Panel Van Club in 1977? and met a lot of really good blokes and blokets. I wonder if any of them are still around? I stayed with the club for a number of years and even toyed with a Jap van once, a Corolla (BAD MOVE).
Since then I have moved around a lot with the RAAF and have owned a few more vans since then. At 51, I have just bought myself my second Beddy though at the moment it really is a piece of dung. I hope to have it on the road within a year. My two Hondas fit nicely in the back so it will be very handy.
That's me, if you live near Wagga look me up.
Russ,  Keep on Van'in

welcome aboard russell, for a minute i thought you lived just up the road, we have a forrest hill here as well. News flash though, a year, um i have been working on mine for a few years now, should of taken 18months. If you have an open chq book and a few tradies, you may be in luck. Anyhow there is no shortage of help on here, good luck.

I should say that this my 2nd build on this van, the first was in 96, when i was working and able bodied, this one is harder now, but i will get it done.
