After spending the final years of my degree dreaming about buying an old VW Kombi and taking up "vanlife", I started convincing the parents and SO, keeping an eye on vans going up for sale and harrowing banks for money in earnest towards the end of last year. In the beginning of November I happened upon a mid 70's T2 Hightop ( an absolute prerequisite for me being over 6ft 3) with a manageable price to my mind.
After much deliberation with banks and family and other dubious financial sources I managed to scrape together a deposit and secure the beauty into 2018.
Fast forward 3 months and with the difference finally paid, said van is finally in our driveway after father graciously toiled for 10 hours to wrangle my khaki monster from Durban to Johannesburg.
Now the plan is to live in her full time and as such some serious upgrades need to happen not only mechanically (looking at you brakes) but also in the living quarters wrt stove, fridge lighting, bed etc. All which will hopefully happen soon.
Will keep you posted! Any advice, wisdom, hints tips, encouragement or discouragement will be greatly apreciated
