My visa card details were hacked about 6 months ago. It has a $500 limit as I use it only for internet purchases. The CBA were excellent & refunded all illegal charges...and on a Sunday.

Hi All, Just back from a few days "down on the farm" where my VV is tucked up warm’n’dry in our shed. This weekend I’ve been using an environmentally friendly paint stripper I found on the internet (in Sydney) that’s made from American Soybeans. I sent away for a “sample pot” @ $15.00 and I must say I’m impressed. I have used “paint stripper” once and I hated it so much I went looking for an alternative. Now I’m no tree hugger (my current drive car has a 350 chev motor) however this soybean stripper had the first 1-2 coats gooey & ready to scrap off in a matter of minutes – “I’m Impressed” !!!!! Unfortunately I left my camera @ Goulburn so I’ll post pics asap

My van has plastic sink. Does this mean that she was built in a particular year Pre – Post 1960? What year did vans start introducing stainless steel sinks?

Al Your tow car is a "rice burner" ...how..dare I say it..unaustralian The green shed guy was "intrigued" about my plans for a canvas/calico roof using paint layered between sheets of calico ...told me it would crack hmm. I think I'll listen to the "boffins" on this forum who have the personal "know how" however....

I asked the paint dude if I needed to prime my plywood before I painted the low sheen paint I bought.....he said no ! He also did not recommend using the Solaguard on the roof as it would "crack due to movement" Using it on the sides of my VV would be okay cause they are ridged ?
