May save this from the inevitable tip. Found this 58 today and owners wife said it may be on the way to the tip, but guess where it is now going. Yes you're right, will pick it up in a couple of weeks.

good score there mate......

Have look at this and check out the side doors. The 7 door delivery was mine that I sold to Matt at Shannons in Melb since moved it again. These are the og doors from that bus, spooky.volma

Why don't you give up your day job Volma?;):D

Have my brother-in-law looking out for VW down in Tassie whenever they go now:alien

Not for me, but just because I've meantioned them. I now expect a report:thumb

Can expect there to be a lot of rubber necking in November!!!!:cool:

So how are the cargo doors? I need some nice ones, windowless of course..

volma1 - August 20th, 2003 at 10:37 PM

Looked ok but no guarantees as I had to move some junk to look properly. has a roof over the doors as used to store motor bike parts as can be seen in the pics. The bus that it came off had good doors on the drivers side but the og owners changed the passenger ones over to let some light into the rear as they had the 7 door delivery fitted as a camper and sold it to a bloke that lived in it till I bought it. Will have a better look when I pic it up as I was not too fussy about the condition if I could get it for nix. volma

Ooooo, Kol, nice :cool::thumb

Sorry don't have the replica anymore as being a vw enthusiast I swapped it for a good 54 beetle. It now resides in a shed on the west coast of tassie. Countrybuggykid's fiancee's father owns it.volma
