nice score.

as for the back seats... they never seem to be in buses, but a friend of mine found one dumped on the side of the road a few years ago. the seat was free but he had spend $100 + on the roof racks to get it home 😀

had a better look this morning ,both sills need doing and a bit of floor in the back but all else seems good enough for the time being , did 11 window buses come with deluxe interior or was this put in by someone ,the guy i got it from said his mate has one in his shed out on a farm that has been there for at least twenty years sitting since the engine blew up ,reckons it looks about the same as this one apart from the skylights in the roof and a really big engine lid

The interior is actually a micro bus interior, these were still 11 window buses but had the back and middle row of seats.

Its the same really as a standard kombi, the kombi had no interior the micro-bus had the seats and trim , also the nice trim behind the cab divider with an ashtray built in.

Cheers
Dave

my brother had a 60 11 window microbus, that had all hte interior. it belongs to another bloke up this way, as it was too far gone for my bro. im not sure how the other guy is going.
they are original and the one i speak of even had some of the original sales brochures, and receipts etc.
