shame you cant rego the kombi. it'd be a current year build and would have to comply with all the current ADR's.

yeah every time I asked about these bodies they got more expensive. when I first heard about the beetle it was $1500, when I phoned it was $3000, now it's $5k? "drugs are bad, mmkay"

Mick, that's called rebirthing and you can spend jail time if caught.

You should be able to register the Kombi with an engine that complies with current ADR's shouldn't you?

Maybe a subi engine?

Are they mexican/brazilian? It'd be nice to have a clean straight body but I think I'd trust an old one more.

I think secoh meant current ADRs like crash safety, etc which old aircooleds have no hope in hell of meeting.

The only way would be as an ICV which would be a lot of hassle and expense. you'd be better off to export it to NZ, build it, then import it as a private import and rego it that way.

I wouldn't be giving birth to it!!! I would be adopting it and giving it a different name.I know people who have done this with a Kombi,and while not saying it is legal or moral (it IS wrong/against the law people) if the "donor":duh car is a writeoff and i mean you melt it for scrap:thumb there is no way it could be traced as a rebirth car. I doubt that anyone would even be any the wiser...especially if the "donor":duh was already a registered car (current rego). With the prices of the Twin cabs these days I'm suprised no one has bought this yet!!! A "NEW" Twin cab for under $20000......makes your brain start a tickin' !!:duh
