Closure...
An Englishman from Kangaroo valley near Nowra came and took the Metcalfe van away.
Keep an eye open for him.. he is the local Chimney Sweeper down Nowra way and drives a Hiace van with Chimney sweep signwriting on the side of it.
He stated that his wife is really keen on doing the old van up 8-) , and he is keen on learning new skills while working on the timberwork.

Not sure on how long it will take them to bring the van back to roadworthy.. nor what they intend doing with the van.. just hope it gets back out on the highways and byways as nature intended...

Keep an eye open for it later on...
So... there ya go .. another happy ending.

Great to see another van rescued and passed on to some one that will love it.
