Re: 1975 Fleetline Kombi
Thanks, thats nice...Going to be talking to you then...i was pleasantly surprised at how little rust is on the inside and floors. The outside has some surface rust and only found one spot that has a tiny hole on the passenger floor.DR WATSON wrote:Congrats, nice bus buddy. I have a soft spot for Fleetlines
Bus is from the Free State so expected not too much rust.....
Let me know if you have bits for it...

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Re: 1975 Fleetline Kombi
thanks.. yip front and rear, only thing with rear bumper is they cut small holes to accommodate for the beetle exhaust that was fitted somewhere along the line...I will get those holes welded closed...jolas wrote:Congrats on your Fleetline

Early bus rear bumpers - hells bells - if you are missing one, yes, very hard to find.
Please post some interior pics of your bus .......

Re: 1975 Fleetline Kombi
Congrats!
Feel a little seeing your bus!
Going to be following the build for when I find one someday!
The more I see the split busses the more I need one!

Re: 1975 Fleetline Kombi
Thanks Retro....I suppose there are few split buses around but thing is finding ones with minimal rust not so easy anymore. I will post pics of the build. We managed to get a full IRS suspension incl disc brakes etc, plan to remove the current suspension and install the IRS and discs....will post pics of that build. Will probably need assistance from Bugger for the rear install....Retrobug wrote:Congrats!
