I've followed their blog for some time, it's worth checking out. He's a very good photographer, and the blog is mostly photos. Their Westy is a Subaru conversion and they've had their share of troubles getting it rebuilt in SA, but finally found a Subaru dealer in Argentina that did it right, including installing a Megasquirt EFI system. 

I hope they will post soon and let everyone know how they are doing.

Thanks Mark.  Sounds like they are living a dream, a great one.  I hope the robbery doesn't deter them from continuing, though I can see how it would put a damper on things, including financially.  But they are definitely resourceful.
