gotta say it would look sweet though.
VolksFolks ·
we are a worry eh, bloody VW's, i wonder if there is a cure!!!
twoguns ·
a radiator...:duh but that would be like silver to a lychen or ultraviolet to a vampire... effective but not much fun.

I rang up friday morning with intention of buying after seeing her on wednsday, and I was told you had put the deposit down! Dam shame mate, had great potential that car. So much panel! mmm lots of yellow.
wezley ·
sorry guys, I was the one that eventually bought it.
Don't worry though, you will get to see what happens to my baby
VolksFolks ·
Hey Wez, nothing like sticking the boot in dude ay!!!
wezley ·
Hey Andy,
Hehe sorry mate 😉
All I knew was that someone didn't put the deposit through on time so I jumped at the chance...
Sounds like you have a few busses down under to keep you busy anyhow..
VolksFolks ·
nah mate the fekin deposit was there in cash, you musta offered more and they felt preasured into it eh, as for having enough busses here, i have some yeh but thats got nothing to do with it, i organised the ferry (return trip) transporting a car to melbourne from tassie, transporting a engine, some parts etc etc and bringing the panel back, so now i have to let other ppl down cause some one let me down, so as you will imagine i am a little pissed off at the moment, some ppl just dont get it! and a mans word is not enough, anyway good score and good luck, hope the motors ok as he said it needed some work and he had bodged it to sell it to you!! and the rust will come through in a months time!, just when you replace the gearbox dont split it as they stink when they have been stuffed full of banana skins
:cry only kiddin

Geez andy, i was scared there for a minute, had a tear in my eye for poor wez...you should become a story teller...That story brought back memories of a guy i knew who travelled far to pick up a kombi and it wasnt what he expected...BUT got a good one on the way home... you know what they say "what goes around comes around"
byronbus ·
oh and it usually takes about two years for the rust to bubble through the sills, especially yellow paint, its particularly bad...
VolksFolks ·
LOL, i canna blame Wezza, We all would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot, just feel i was shafted by the seller, as i said, my word is not good enough!
no hard feelings Wez :-)
wezley ·
shit that scared the fuck outta me.. my heatrate just went through the roof... bastards 😉
anyway, the guy said the deposit was to be in his account by Friday 5pm or something, and the cash wasn't cleared by then...
Anyway, I don't know what went down, so I'm just happy I got the bus..
once again.. you bastards
byronbus ·
hehe, andys a funny guy but you dont want to cross him...have you seen him?
Get some pics up as soon as you get her...🙂
wezley ·
yeah word on the street has it he's part man part beast...
thanks for the heads up 😉 I will steer well clear of tassie on my travel methinks 😉
Will post pics as soon as I get her.
Cheers
Wez

I just wanted to confirm - that everyone one knew it wasn't me that screwed Andy - as my name is on the for sale post. I put in on this site - for a guy who lives nearby.
Just didn't want anyone thinking I was a bastard !!!!!!!!!

Nice van, shouldn't last long at that price.

Where/when were double doors an option? Panels only or something? I reckon that's such a cool concept. Any chance that someone made a double door microbus? Probably not hey. Can a bus be converted (say if it was rusty already and stuff)?
StenGuns ·
I believe they were only made for RAAF as twin doors..
Had to offload, onload equipment at hi speed..

Hey Volksfolks,
Once VW get into the blood there is NO Cure.
Ask Old Dubber he'll the ears of you about VW's.
I been driving VW's on and off for 34 years and every time I get rid of one I have to get another to be happy

I drove wezley down last weekend to pick-up/look at the double door in my own 74 bus. She's a little ratty, but never really had any trouble with her. Has always been a daily driver for me and we had a understanding. We probably put in nearly 150 kms that day and wezley and I were just keen to get to this controversial yellow van. The deal was done and my rat (loosely termed) sounded great on the return trip, knowing that soon, there would be a new member in the fraternity. Little did we know as wezley and i discussed the finer points of his new factory sun-roofed bus that this would be her last hah-rah. Yesterday my Kombi died and i shed a tear for the end of my 6 year relationship. "It's terminal" I was told " you've got to move on." I will, but I'll do it knowing that she did it for me, her last great drive.... and happy in the knowledge that the baton has been passed on to a brighter, fresher, more exciting friend. What a sacrifice. That's how I'll remember her. Goodbye old friend.
Now has anyone got a type3 squareback or kombi for sale?
david ·
it was a milk van and it is white , maybe i could sell that
choo ·
Maybe you COULD sell that. what are you saying to me david?
hmmmmmmm.
this could become hot property i'm sure.
wezley ·
pics? hehe
david ·
but most of you city slickers cant be asked to come and travel
wezley ·
Not true Dave,
We just need a compelling reason... 😉
david ·
aits converted to a camper but i have the bits to change it back
choo ·
city-slicker hey.......
I'll be honest David, I got a bit of a shock when i saw it, but I'm sure it can be selvedged. What's it's history prior to the camper conversion. Milk truck or something? I sit better than it looks. Am i safer staying in the city?!
surfkombi ·
You know Andy has a cool bay for sale that is now sitting in my Garage in Ocean Grove - have a look at his for sale post "hybrid kombi for sale'
david ·
its been painted about three different colours over its life but is quite straight just looks a little bad just drive up with a trailer on and have a look i have another as well buts a later model and and not a panel but rust free and $500 as well
VolksFolks ·
OK, my Deposit arrived back today, NO ACCOUNT, so the seller NOT surf kombi, made a mistake when emailed there account number to me, dumb ass, anyway not getting the bay raaf it has got me into gear to get my splitty panel rat finished, i will now put the cash into that baby, Andy
penguin ·
Choo,
I think you have some posts crossed over, David has a camper for sale. His twin slider is white (well, thats what the post above says) and does not look like it is for sale at this time.....
or is it David?????????????????????????????????
choo ·
that red kombi above is david's yeah, in albury? well the photo is from him
He mentioned the white twin slider earlier and this (i think) is what he came back with. But i think the question still needs to asked: is the twin slider for sale?
