Patina King!! 74 panel bad boy
ragtopp - April 21st, 2007 at 07:00 PM

Couple of shots of the new panel project bus. Someone tried to paint over the signage years ago with cheap spray cans, the Karcher blew most of it off. It is easy to read in the flesh but a bit hard to see in the pics. It was a bush property find.
Roof says "Fritzmeier ski"
The drivers side wheel arch and lower sill are rotten and the rest is pretty cancer free, only surface stuff.
Someone stole a door, and the other was missing unfortunatly, but hey i still love it!!!!

That could be an awesome machine, what are the plans?

pete wood - April 22nd, 2007 at 08:09 AM

finally a bay! love it. dump it and drive it. :yes:

ragtopp - April 22nd, 2007 at 11:11 AM

Plans are to lower it, put on a nice set of large old style rims and a nice donk and drive the thing, only body work will be the munted rear wheel arch and the sill aswell as a couple of doors so as not to fall out eh!
The rear wheel arch was good till the go ol boys pulled it out of the bush with a dozer, think they used it to clear a few little trees.

Yeah mate can't beat an un-cut panel!
Good luck with her!

Hmmm what can we write on that missing door?........

jo_tas - April 29th, 2007 at 07:27 PM

Something KDF-Werky?

newoldmanx - April 29th, 2007 at 09:23 PM

ragtopp - April 30th, 2007 at 10:31 PM

Yeh man, get the air brush warm, gota be something kool as!!!!! Pity iron crosses werent awarded to the german ski teams.
Yeh mate another bay panel beside it and an early bay double cab beside that. Gota love kombi commercials. I have a fuel injected type 4 motor to put in the ol bus, working on a bug for now, but will be on the hit list soon enough.
