ClassicVW(pacific) ·
$32000 no offers if I took into account my nights and weekends building her up it would be triple that.

ColumBUS ·

57kombi ·
Didnt Hitler drive one of these.
Cheers
Dave
57 Chook Shed ·
Yeah Dave, I think he did.
Hitler also knew someone who`s mate`s brother had one with the engine all exposed, it stuck out the back way more than this one and it was all chromed everything.
57kombi ·
I know the one, hitler drove it in the Baja 1000.
Came third If I recall.
I believe that was the first baja split in the world.
I bet its in the Wolfsburg museum.
Cheers
Dave
57 Chook Shed ·
Nah, you`re full of shit!
Ferdinand Porsche built the first one, he raced that in the Heinlich 2000 race at Bundlesburg (just outside of Rhuntfahrten).
Get your facts straight dude.

What are you guys on down in Adelaide
Everybody knows that Hitler used it for his rendezvous with Marlene in the australian alps. He then leant it to Vice Marshall Herman Goerring who put big 15 inch wheels on it with a big engine sticking out the back to invade Russia. When winter came the kombi got stuck like all good Bajas and rested there until a russian farmer found it and used it as a goat shed. When the Berlin wall was finally brought down the same kombi was used to knock the first panel down as seen on TV. !!!!

For someone with that attitude towards the VW community you seem to be making allot of posts.
57kombi ·
See I told you , theres always one without a sense of humor.
read the whole post we are having a laugh.
VW owners are way too serious.
Cheers
Dave
ClassicVW(pacific) ·
cast the sinner out and stone him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ClassicVW(pacific) ·
feed him to the lions.........
why dont you put a Holden badge on yer bus. That would really chuff people off
ClassicVW(pacific) ·
or the word HOLDEN across the top of your windscreen, of course you would have to chop out that silly upright in between your windows.
57kombi ·
I was thinking of doing that anyway,
fit a curved one and call it a splay.
I think it would be safer being able to see more of the road.
Might have to get the grinder out.
Have you got rid of yours yet, or have you changed your mind???
Cheers
Dave

Had an offer from the vatican, they want to chop the roof and sides off and replace with glass I dont know what for??
57kombi ·
It might get noticed then,
Funny how people keep an eye out for splits,
I would imagine it would be hard to have an accident in one,
They couldnt really say, "i didnt see you"
Got the delivery yet????
Cheers
Dave
vwombat ·
Geez - if you whacked that thing up on bricks, it'd make a great toolshed or perhaps greenhouse?
But seriously - how can you part with something like this? It's the containment unit for your soul isn't it?
57kombi ·
You know how they say that beetles float.
Well how about the other way round, turn my bus into a large fish tank.
Would make a great water feature, jamie would be proud.
Oh by the way, thinking of selling mine again??????
Cheerss
Dave

I reckon dave, that if we didn't have this forum you probably wouldn't think about selling your car again.

Best mod I have seen to a funny windows in the roof bus,
Now you can see all of the road, and not have to worry about hitting a very skinny man who you cant see because of the silly thing in the middle of the screen.
Any instructions on how to do this great conversion, was it an extra, Would I validate my warranty if I did this.
Anthony, its a little joke now, I will never sell the bus.
Cheers
Dave

Waiting for the new engine to arrive from the UK, 1641 street power with twin ICT webers, also petronix electronic ignition. But still a bit of work to do as well so should be on the road by mid June, fingers crossed. But I will miss the old girl, at least she will be going to a good home

ClassicVW(pacific) ·
We can fit 4 in if you cut the roof off yours.
57kombi ·
Even if it was chopped it would sell well as rust free parts???
Cheers
Dave
waltermitty ·
Dave I see you are running your on the beach . Have you Baja rised it? Such a rust promoting environment combined with the rust causing silicone you used for the trim Must depreciate it substantially? LOL MITCHL
[Edited on 29-4-2005 by waltermitty]
57kombi ·
Hi Mitch.
Those were the days, when all we had to worry about was rust promoting silicone.
Its O.K. though as I sealed the sand with 2 pac primer before I drove on it.
To anyone who doesnt know what we are having a laugh about.
When I fitted my deluxe trim(where did I get that from now) I drilled the holes, about 200 and sprayed fish oil in them and sealed the holes by dipping the screws in silicone sealant,
Some one commented that the silicone would promote rust as it was acidic. (dont know where that came from).
Anyway its still standing.
Cheers
Dave
eirecooled ·
if you read the instructions on the silicone tubes you will find one has an etching acid in its formula and one is a neutral cure to be used on steel. its all there on the label.
Fossil ·
Someone's getting a nice split eh Roy
57kombi ·
The silicone I used stated that it was non-corrosive and to be used on glass, creamics, steel, copper and any other metals,
It was Sellys wet use.
I dont see if it is non-corrosive how it will corrode my bus????
