Bus will stay standard, but I am still keen on BIG wheels. Buggers mention in another thread of 7 ply landy tyres. mmmmm

Saw a cool site with a few raised buses. Think it was called 'bajabus' or something like that. Also gives pointers of how to do it properly.

Home sweet home

Welcome to the family.

Seeing the car up close and personal now and with a little more time to inspect it, LLLLOOOOTTSSS of work.
Ok, granted, after the notch this will be a walk in the park, but still, she needs a bit of effort put into her.

First thing is to get her running again, fix the obvious faults, roadworthy, and change of ownership. Can't wait

Thanks again to Chris for helping to get her home - what a journey!

Now start getting her ready for RICHTERSVELD

Kaptein, span die seile @ Pine

Need the following already:
Interior left door handle,
original "double door" external door handle.
Passenger side pop out window frame and pop out window mechanism (is it same as a beetle, looks a bit bigger but cant remember?), this one is VROT!
Ignition with a key - OG VW ignition, not the aftermarket junk - if possible.

And thats only what I have noted so far, in the semi-darkness!

I was about to ask for the drivers side window winder, then I slid the window open
