For a name, howzabout Eileen???... so when your struggling up hills on 1600 power you can sing.. "C'MOOON EILEEN!!!....TOORAAA-LOORA-TOOORAAA-LOOR-AYE AIYYY..." :P
hehe..just kidding.... still sounds like a good name for a Kombi tho... mine was gonna be Elenore, until I found out she alread had a name (NEVER change a Kombi's name! :P)... so she stay's Buttercup! 馃憤

Nah I got this bus out Narrabeen way. The paint looks better in the pics trust me. It is so peely and just looks like it was put on with a brush in spots. Plus the entire front panel is being replaced as it was rusty and obvious had been hit. Still it's looking good now and the rest of the bus is rust free. The load area is so clean it amazing. Plus i upgraded the 1600 to 2ltr motor and gearbox. goes good.
