thank you beetlejuice i finally found it & will restore
to its glory days

Who the hell did that to it in the first place.
I suppose its a novel way to get more headroom.

Cheers
Dave

haha, suit your big head Dave, lol

Awesome......looks like that roof could double as a boat.:thumb

No where near big enough.

I just cant understand why people used to do this, if they wanted more room get an awning or a bloody tent.
You would have cut the roof off to put another one on to bring it back to stock and thats not really viable as it would cost a mint.
Its just my opinion and some might like the double decker bus look.

Cheers
Dave

Its something different & you've got to remember when people were doing all these mods these busses were a dime a dozen.Variety is the spice of life!!

good score , will be different ,top window needs taking out though ,any more pics

dont know what to do about the high top
cnvert to a sun roof, pop top or just replace the roof
plenty of time to decide, can not complain the rest is in good condition

Initially I was a bit appalled, but you know, it almost looks factory. Might be worth finding some pics of a factory hightop and trying to match it.
That's the original roof on top of the extention isn't it. I reckon just match the front and it'll do the trick. But, I'd get rid of the caravan window...

who ever owned it before it ended up there did a smart job
with the red oxide paint on the floor & the underside
very little rust, the high top seems to have attracted the
bulk of rust, not clear in pics but the sills are in great condition







when the 64 is finished this is going straight in for work
the 59 i bought from :puke ppl not worth it will be stored

i spotted something in a backyard on the way to nymboida today
stopped on the way back & with binoculars believe its a type 3 van
in overgrown bushes, my sons 14 so it may be a good project for him
to have for when its time for his licence (i will convert him to vw's)
picking split up on the weekend, the farmer will bring down the mountain
for me as there is no way i could retrieve it, a very nice bloke

the roof is pop rivatted if it was original i would leave it that way
but dont know yet anyway plenty of time to decide
theres no motor thats no problem
price was $200, i doubled what he wanted but i will take a slab
out to him as well

where did you get it from?
cheers
rhys

nymboida way up the top of the mountain, the farmer that owned
it was up there logging & couldnt believe i came up the hill in a kombi
mind you how the hell did that one get there

4wd's only but they foregot about the ever reliable kombi's.
i jumped out & started to walk down to take this pic & ended
up running down against my will & drove down in first & with
brakes on but that steep just slid most of the way.

....good score...have fun restoring it....

Basically what Mandie was saying ...variety is the spice of life....go for it!!!

Andy that one in Tassie is nice....damn I need to win lotto now.....I so want a Type 2 one day *dream*

a hi-top from europe could be factory:duh
