I reckon it is the back of Bugboy's shed, once you get past the camouflage at the front

Thats a cool shed, if only :thumb

some people just obsessively collect newspapers and old aluminium cooking utensils.........;)

you can see a 21 or 23 window down the back corner in the first pic...


VWFOOL - March 5th, 2004 at 02:11 PM

that first pic looks a little photoshopped to me, that kubel just doesnt sit right


twoguns - March 5th, 2004 at 02:34 PM

its probably got the 181 front beam and stuff that brad wanted for a buggy, as it seems raised.


VDUBXTC - March 5th, 2004 at 03:17 PM

Sits the same as the schwimmer in front of it.
I don't think its photo shoped

Might be Kombi kids stash!!but its not.
This is Graham from Brookvale spares shed. He has been selling them of ever since I have been told exxie 2 , bored with them! (but dont know) .
Nice collection eh.
The guys at Brooky spares where he had till it closed last year some nicxe VW on display ( 54 kombi along with 3or 4 early beetles) told me that the 54 kombi there sold for $30,000 sterling! near $100,000 at the exchange rate at the time.

so it isnt chopped? i thought the renault was on a bit of an odd lean, and look at the lack of shadow under the kubelwagen and the layers of identical motors in the front. most of it looks genuine, maybe these were added later by someone else?


Cruzin in a Golf - March 5th, 2004 at 08:49 PM

I dunno it looked funny to me too when i first saw it. That Kubelwagen has a flat front right for sure and probably something going on in its back suspension if it was to lean like that. But the second picture looks the real thing. Bug heaven i say!! Worth many $$$$

lighting also seems odd on the kubelwagen (too dark on close side. no other vehicles have noticable shadows on this side, even the wheel of the bug on the far side has less darkness. it also apears that the bug behind the kubelwagen has a landscape reflected in its window and the edge of the renault seems exessively sharp. then again the 2nd pic is definitely genuine, and MOST of the 1st pic matches the 2nd , so maybe Im just paranoid:P


frog - March 5th, 2004 at 09:52 PM

It's real as,and in OZ.


waltermitty - March 6th, 2004 at 10:11 AM

The lighting is a little funny as there are skylights in the roof, see the sun on the front of the pic. The reflections are due to the open doors of the shed see second photo.M

wow, top stuff!!! :cool:

i could live in that shed quite happily!
