I AM INTERESTED TO SEE PHOTOS OF 71 KOMBIS OR ATLEAST GET AN IDEA OF HOW MANY ARE OUT THERE. I AM ABOUT TO PURCHASE ONE AND AS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND I GET THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE UNCOMMON. I THINK THEY LOOK GREAT!!

68 to 71 are the same. 72 has the same front but different back. I love the old bays, they look very sweeet.

You will find that the 68 to 71 kombis are not as common as the later models.

And the 72 (especially the deluxe) with old front and new back is the rarest of them all..

So, how rare are they? Would still love to see any pics of members rides in the "early bay" range. I have searched the rides section but didnt find much...that may be point!:alien

so let me get this right the 69-71 is the same and then there is a hybrid of sorts with the 72, early bay front and later back end? Are these (69-72) years harder to get parts for?

I had a 71 deluxe microbus which i just sold. 71 kombis are great, they still have the smaller tail lights but are fitted with disk brakes. One of the best bays i rekon🙂

68-71 where all the same but the 71 was fitted with disks. 72 has the same front as the early ones with the low blinkers but has the same rear as a later bus with the large lights, bigger air vents and you cant remove the rear apron.
I think thats right? im not totaly sure.

By the way...when i get this kombi...I will be looking at getting the underneath rust proofed/coated, what is the best material to use and who does it up in the Gold Coast/Northern NSW region?

I have read the many threads on this debate about using unleaded vs LRP and I am still confused and do not have a clue who to listen to. If a nonmodified 1600 is being used what petrol can I use, and do I have to have anything done to the engine?

You have hi-jacked your own post.

do not have a clue who to listen to

me (summarising gobs of discussion, informed and everyday opinion).

If a nonmodified 1600 is being used what petrol can I use

any, but ulp is the most appropriate for this low-compression engine.

do I have to have anything done to the engine

no.

You will also read that you should/should not add valve lubricant, octane improver, premium unleaded petrol and/or a gob of spit with every tank/every second tank/never ever. It's your money, but the answers to your questions are above.
