I was in Bali about 2 years ago and don't remember seeing too many of these. There were a few bugs and things over there. Mainly used as rental cars. Saw a few custom beetles over there too, Cal Lookers mainly.
Theres a VW specialist in Kuta Beach, cant remember the road. He does a lot of hire VW's too.
Saw quite a few custom cars over there, best was a pillarless EH Holden with a really radical interior.

Hey I love it :cool:

Ok, it's different but it has the colour and decoration you would find in an Asian country

Never been to Bali, maybe it IS time. Dean were the VW's for hire older models?

Different is good sometimes:rudolf

70's models mainly Jen. You could hire with or without a driver.

Cool, most excellent:thumb

Mmmm, like to drive myself

Better, a group could rent a very nice house cheap, hire cars and cruise Bali:party

Was in Bali a few years back and saw another variation on this. Was so cool. A split top half, on a bay bottom half. Saw more than one too. So cool as they were IRS, disc brake front end etc but old looking kinda. Wanted to bring one back but hey what can ya do? Remember reading somewhere it was something to do with them not getting all the new tooling etc. Don't know if its true.

that looks like Daves triple cab splitter from albury that sold recently, except his was a splitter, and strangly enough is has been sold to a guy who is going to use it as a beach driving mobile or something, maybe he was inspired buy what he'd seen in Bali....hmmmm

Does anybody know the genuine pros and cons of importing a Kombi, from Brazil, to Australia (QLD in my case)?

I've heard alot about thinner panels, poorer quality etc, but is this all smoke and mirrors? Brazilians seem to stick with em!

And if the actual vehicle is OK, then will it be rconsidered roadworthy for oz?
