Kombidog-we need to be thankful that we still have the ones with that sort of damage done to them-imagine how many have been squashed for scrap.About 12 months ago I was going thru Pt Augusta real early one Friday morning on my way to Adelaide when I spotted a split Single Cab ute on top of something else up against the fence of the wrecker.I checked it out and it was a really good project(probably on a par with SC"s Van) I was due to go back thru Monday afternoon so believed I would be able to own the car of my dreams.I was late going thru on Monday and they were shut-But B4 my eyes was an almost bare wrecking yard and one of those mobile crushers.Guess what was missing.I rang him next morning hoping that he had spared it-no such luck.He was quite proud that he was getting $25 a ton for the scrap.Doing a quick calculation he got about $8 for the ute.I remember telling him how valuable Kombi stuff is.So I rang him this week looking for a 2lt Kombi auto trans and guess what-he had one with a motor as well but crushed it about 3 months ago.What can you do with people like that.

looks like you aint takin any shortcuts Mandie, way to go I reckon...
Maybe we will have to have a "Christening Cruise" when you get it on the road...
P.S. you can give benneton your panel beater's details once he has finished yours.

is this the only job your beater has right now he is doing it very quick,i guess when you know what you are doing and have all the tools ,not trying to figure out how to do it from a how to in a volksworld mag makes life a little easier , looks awsome ,kombis are the future

Yeah he took afew weeks off to concentrate purely on my splitty.He does lots of work on beetles mainly & a little on his own splittys but this is the first splitty he's done from bare metal up.I'm really happy with it as i've said.Theres about 2 more weeks body work....1 week of all the little fiddly bits like the doors,the little rail bits where the windows slide in & just general little bits,then about a week to just straighten it all up ready for the primer.I'll probably have to wait a couple of monthe then to save the money for the paint job.

so is that big hole in the top going to be a rag top now or is going pop again.
heres an idea creative sell small window frames for samba conversions, so you could give your bus the samba tratment ,that would be cool. and also i read a previous post on valla about a guy doing those side safaris for bays , wouldnt be to much different on your bus:beer

I'm going to keep the poptop coz we go camping alot & it just makes it easier to stand up in & move around.I fell in love with those side safaris when i saw them on that bay at Valla,it was exactly what i had in my head that i wanted to do with my windows.Just gotta work out how they attach to the framework or put some sorta frame work inside next to the windows coz at the moment its just the sheet metal coz it was a panalvan.

Hey thanx Stu.....great photos....i forgot to take one of the bulkhead now thats its in.
That rear cross section looks so good now(thanx again to donor parts from Anth!)it had been hit at some stage & was totally pushed in which made it not line up with the door at all.

Unfortunatley the funds are starting to dwindle Jim so DOVW is pretty much out of the question.I might aim for the jamboree though,that might be achievable.
