hey, im selling my 1961 kombi..ive spand 12,5k on the body of this car alone and it was pretty rust free to begin with..it came out of the desert in WA about 5 years ago..ive used all Schofield replacement panels, and have photos of various stages of the resto.. painted in the orig beige colour..80 percent of the panel work was done by Dandevolks in Melbourne, and the rest done at Mac Daddys on the goldcoast,not to mention the work that i have done to it...
here is what it comes with:
all new rubbers seals through out.
orig full length roof rack
orig visor
headlight cages
front bench seat (has a small paint stain, no cuts)
rear seat (no middle seat)
NOS lap belts
new tye rods
new indicator lenses front and rear
new shockies
new master cylinder,bottle and seal
origional 1200cc stale air engine (semi reco'd, ie, new rings, seals leads, dizzy cap, m/c valve seats) runns good 6v
reco'd regulator 6v
good strong gearbox
needs: most of it put back together,and the breaks done, as i have no time or inspiration at the moment as im just about to start building a house..expensive stuff.
$15k no offers other than part exchange for local carpenter or gyprocking...thanks,
Does look good, any pics of what it looked like before the body work?

sorry we haven't got back to you, i have been trying to juggle gear and staff to support your cause. but the scissor is out for a while and freight would kill you. plus my wife is about to give birth again so i can't get far from home for a while so my labour would be unreliable and only on weekends unfortunatley.i hope that we can do something, just not sure what and when, but untill then, goodluck and hope it all works out well.
cheers josh
