Rebecca caught fire on the weekend and is already being repaired

Rebecca suffered a fire in the engine bay on Friday which has taken her out of action
for a few weeks. She was being used at the Illawarra folk festival and suffered we think
an electrical fire, there is damage to the motor and the paint work on the rear that will need to be
fixed, she has been in worse condition.

This fire prevented a group of Bluescope employees from taking her to Qld to help with the
Flood releif effort this coming Tuesday (tomorrow).

This is just another chapter in the Kombi book.

Here are some photo's of the damage.


 This is what we saw on Friday Night all cables damaged.


Yes the Motor is already out and getting repaired.


Some of the damaged cables.


Simon and Darren trying to work out where the fire may have started, we where very lucky it 
wasn't a fuel fire, very lucky.


No Motor in the engine bay.


This is a top View of the motor still in the car, there used to be an air box there.

Thanks to Nigel from Wollongong car Carriers for picking up the kombi and
allowing us to use his workshop to remove the motor.
