Meant to say “g’day” earlier Squirrel. 

That van looks pretty straight. 
What’s the rust like? 

Don’t reckon you will have any problems with poaching with your mate looking after your Bulli

Nice !!.....Love seeing them covered in dust.... Cool .......adds to their provenance I reckon.
Gotta ask....is your username meant to be Squrriel as posted.....or,
"Squirrel"
If it is supposed to be Squirrel, let us know and we can rectify  Wink
Cheers,

I didn’t expect an answer, because I spoke in Spaniel, which is understood only by spaniels.

Hey team, getting closer to getting the old girl on the road, finally got the headliner fitted here in WA. Next challenge is the speedo, it is in MPH and need to get it changed to KPH. Can anyone advise me how to go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Markop,
Reckon the only way is find a decal to go over the MPH or find a km speedo (which I have a stash of Wink ).

Welcome to KCA Markop....
Do you HAVE to change the speedo ?
Many are running with original equipment in mph, you'll learn pretty quickly the important conversions like 40,60,80 and 100 kph.
Nice to keep the bus as original as possible in my opinion.
Cheers,
Mark
