managed to get front crossmember, rear crossmember and two top rails with new shift rod guides in. front outriggers and rear "c pillars are done, next step is rear outriggers, then inner front arch area and sills. every time i go to weld something i have to remove more rust to find somewhere to start from.

Have you checked the birth cert for this, it would have to be one of the earliest RHD T2's around!
Wish I had your skills with a welder.

Yes type 2 and Pmgbus are mates and will both work on the barney.

2 years ago i would have though why bother thats a basket case ,now mmmmmmmmmm barnyyyyyy door.
rust isnt a problem anymore just the time it takes to fix .

pmgbus ·
yes we kick around together, and yes dan will probably spend a few nights with me working on the bus. if not mine then me on his!
vwtyp2 ·
he he.
that's me standing behind the rusty piece of crap in the second pic.
and yes, I'll be lending as much assistance, and limited experience when and where I can, to see it back on the road again.

it had better look like this when your finished.I got this pic off barndoor.dk,whats your chassis number?you should stick it on here as there are only a few aussie barnys registered,
or is there an Ausrtralian barndoor register?
StenGuns ·
Sorry for my ignorance.. But wht are they called "barn door"?
koolkarmakombi ·
cause they are all found behind one!
check out barndoor.dk

any bus pre march 55 is a barndoor, it's in reference to the large engine lid at the back (not the cargo doors) Damn are they sexy
vwtyp2 ·
yep, picture it like that, but slammed, on sprintstars, and a monster type 4 engine.

"yep, picture it like that, but slammed, on sprintstars, and a monster type 4 engine"
Not a barndoor please!!! Go buy a fat chick (someone point one out for him please)
vwtyp2 ·
I can't think of a better candidate for sprints and a monster type 4.
frenzix ·
neither can i vwtyp2, unless you find a really original complete one, otherwise i would rat the hell out of it.

If people want to drop there vehicles to the ground,and un OG them.......

MY POINT EXACTLY!!! Take a look at the first comment on every new bus/restoration on this forum. Add it up. Whose calling people to be one way. NOT the OG crew. Just leave it to the owners to do what they want without the comments. Thanks- (dont misconstrue this as a call for OG cos its not.)

This car is being restored to be used, not to be a trailer queen.
fitting a big type 4 engine will allow it to pull other kombi's out of the fields, and tow them safely home on the trailer at the legal speed limit, with the tray neatly stacked with the vital kombi recovery tools.

Hot Rodding is all well and good, but everyone does it differently!
Dan's 23 in Japan will be sweet just like this little RHD single cab on sprints and a big donk will be....
Some 'fat chicks' should be left the way god intended....But i had a 68 slammed on 16"s that was a load of fun....
Now I'm messing with a T25! (SVX Heart Transplant) I do regret selling my 60 panel though!
frenzix ·
i love a bit of both sides .. origi or slammed/rat love/appreciate them both...
