Default Hello from a beginner in Australia
Hi All, I am just starting the full restoration of a 1960 VW 11 Window Bus. This is the first attempt at body and chassis restoration, so i am very much a beginner and looking forward to asking questions and receiving advice form those more knowledgeable and experienced!

Welcome to the forum, Gary.

We had some VW campers, almost restored a 71 but it needed a lot more than we ended up doing. Good luck with your 11 window. Keep us posted.
