Went around to a friend's place last night to have a look at his new bus.
after having the nicest '55 you'll see anywhere, and a sweet 23 window, there's not much left.
Except for.....

here's why they call them a Barn Door.
check the size of that engine lid.

vwtyp2 ·

gotta love the simplicity of a Barny Dash.

vwtyp2 ·

mmm Safari windows.

VDUBXTC ·

Hey thats the one from unique cars mag
Dam that looks like a sweet buy for the advertised price or less.

G'day,
Having had 6 Barndoors I've gotta say that looks like a good restorer, nice and straight, not a lot of visible rust. Whats it like underneath? Shame about the ribbed back bumper.
Cheers, Ian.

Very nice.. thats what I was going to say Ian about the back bumper.. they aren't cheap. Nice stocky safari's..

I am willing to talk 16's with him.. 😉

vwtyp2 ·

yes, came from Guy.
very solid, apart from below the back window. (a typical Barny issue)
and amazingly straight.
one of those rare few that gets through life unscathed.
The original centre section of the bumper came with the car.
car also came with 6 16" rims.

VWFREAK ·

Nice, very nice.

57kombi ·

Just imagine it dropped 6 inches with radars .

Would be a cool ratter.

Cheers
Dave

pete wood ·

nice, but it look like someone stole the engine, Oh well, must be time for an EJ20T or somethin :thumb

pete wood ·

BTW, just cut a hole in the nose for the radiator, it'll look fine. 😀

vwtyp2 ·

I don't reckon you could drop it any more than what it is.
there's about 5 cm between the top of the tyre and the wheel well.

ColumBUS ·

i can see it now... shiny metallic blue, 19 inch chrome, hydros, suede interior with subwoofers akimbo in the back, laser string in the floors, someone elses number plates...

57kombi ·

It can be lowered, look at Rikki James and his barney 23.
Might have to be tubbed.
And I know Shane wont be doing that
Cheers
Dave
