Has anyone out there made the rear of a bus (73-79 model) into a trailer?
I'm contemplating it but would be keep to see if anyone else has done it?
It's only a thought at the moment, so not sure if it will happen yet. It would look cool though.

Had thought about it.....might be easier to use the back of a ute
Would be pretty heavy though.

There was a picture of a Kombi trailer on an earlier post, although it was the front half of the bus that was used.

Fully sick trailers. They look sweeeet:thumb
Hey,
Thanks for all the info. The Pics are great.
Gary, I would love to get some more info, or pass on my e-mail address (
cathrich@tpg.com.au).
That's what I had in mind, but was thinking of cutting it just below the window line. Buggy Brad also suggested putting the nose section on the front to finish the look.

i'll look for the web site, it had step by step instructions
I have built a trailer from the back third minus the roof, of a 74 kombi. Its not quite finished but I plan on setting it up as a camper trailer with a swing out kitchen where the engine used to be ! We cut through the body work with a recipricating saw (beautiful clean cut) and welded a heavy duty draw bar to the torsion bar housing and main chassis rails. It has under floor storage and two outward opening doors at front.
Look for it on the road after Christmas, we're not giving to much away its a work of art.
They are pretty bloody cool!!!:bounce

i have seen a white kombi in melbourne with a white kombi trailer made from the rear end. Looked cool as !
70's model...

Any Type three trailers?
Now those trailers truly are very very extremely funky!
Not only have you got the coolness of a kombi, but also the added worship factor of towing a kombi trailer along with it.
très cool!!!
Andy and all, those photos came from a site with a step by step, with photos of exactly how the trailer was made. I found it one night when i was looking through VW sites. Please, anyone, let me know if you find the site!
