Hi all,

I've made several posts on explore oz regarding the setup of our troopy. Im paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair, my partner and intend on driving from London to Cape Town via Central Asia in a 94 troopy with 335 000km on the clock. It will be taking us about a year to pass through the 40 countries to make it from London to the most southern tip of Africa.

We are also doing it for a good cause, to raise funds and awareness for spinal cord injuries Australia. every day 1 person in Australia suffers an SCI leaving them not only permenantely disabled but with a huge set of challenges, financial, emotional, physical and psychological, just to name a few, to face for the rest of their life.
We hope to raise funds for those out there that are struggling with these issues.

We have made a blog with the details of our trip and the build of the vehicle. Thought we would like to share the progress of our build with the good people of exploroz and maybe if your feeling generous and have a few spare bob could donate to a worthy cause. ( this part of the site is still under construction at the moment)

Anyway feel free to subscribe and make any suggestions as to our build and the trip in general.
