    Looks good :thumbsup:
     
  4. Wouldn't say I'm a expert. Been into Vw's for 30 plus years now. I have owned a Beetle, Polo, Scirocco, 3 mk1 Gti's, 1 mk2 golf, 1 mk2 gti, 3 mk3 git's, 1 mk4, 1mk5, 1 mk6. A 77 911, 76 trekker, 62 firebus split, 67 fastback, 70 Bay and now the 78 camper. Thats just the Vw's lol
    I was a peugeot master tech, but now I just play with the cars. Two of my friends own Vw and custom resto shops, so no good with a welder, I just get to see campers in there worst states. :-( They work wonders with them! :)

  10. Paradox, you may want to have a look at this bus some time! I brought a mate to have a look too, he was blown away! You are more than welcome, I would even pay your fuel!! ;-)

    I can vouch that there are many out there that are rust free. Some might have a little surface rust but as rust goes I'd class that as rust free.
     
  12. A bit more info, The chap bought it when it was only a few months old and cherished it, I wanted for nothing. He told me the bus was only used for holidays and never used in the winter. This is the reson for the low miles! Then it developed a small miss that he coulded sort. So he parked it up 9 years ago.
    He has also let me have five or six boxes full of new old stock parts! :) And there is endless amounts of paper work to go with the bus!

    What is it with these old VW's?? I use to see them parked up all over the place in Croydon in dire condition. It's like the owners couldn't be parted with them and I know that feeling. With Barry's problems last year I was prepared to lock him away in the garage forever because I couldn't face anyone else owning him even though I hated the little blighter.

    Buses are funny. Their owners even funnier :lol:

    So you get out there and enjoy it.
