    64Valiants 1969 low light kombi

    its such good set up.

    i keep seeing bug turbo set ups and haven't really found any bay window kombi ones.

    that one is a 1915cc and has 138bhp.

    also 1st one ive seen with a smaller t3 size turbo on them.

    everyone else seems to have huge turbos.

    and also pretty much every other one is in a bug.

    I had reacted and commented on this photo a long time ago. And at the time I'm sure I saved it. Well after some hunting via stalking my own moves on Facebook on a lot of vw groups I found it.

     

    So I'm going to leave this here so I cant loose it again.

    be interesting to see what it goes for - the insurance company keep telling me that mines only worth $1800....

    Man I'd be getting it individually evaluated to find out what its actually worth and to cover your ass. With your one been in the condition it is for its ages I'd definitely be seeing what evaluators think its worth.

    man she has been some time since the last post.....

    I think old mate @Geophy ended up getting some steel and i asked him to get me some right angle in the end.

    Welded that on and then it really started to get in the way at the shop. Invited old mate Geophy over again and got him on the grinder

    he went over allllllll my welds and made them flat for me. Making it easier to stick the cladding on when i am ready/have the money.

    the main reason was so i could get it painted and get it out of the work shop. we had been planning on moving the shop and it was not going to be able to fit in the new shop. 

    I had re upholstered a chair for a mate and he owed me a favor so i hit him up seeing if he could paint the caravan before i had to leave it sitting out side.

    boom!

    92099459_3585484174811576_47091595796556

    Not the best of paint jobs but we have paint

    91752353_3585483918144935_74150605517655

    so its now sitting at my mums place out in the weather as we move places and sort our own lives out again.

    I would really like to get back into it and get it covered in for at lest winter. so i think thats the next goal. By cladding and material for the floor.

    i had originally wanted a different style graphic but just didn't work out and i kept coming back to find this bus.

    @64valiant Ohh interesting, Did you upholster one recently?
    I have no door card stuff at all. But it is a long way off yet.

    Haven't even decided if this is going to be two door or 4 yet. 

    That said, if they are no good to you, id be definitely interested.

     


    yeah i done upholstery on Brendan Everett 54 two door.

    well then this covid-19 kicked in and beach hop was no longer happening and i didn't have any idea when i was going to be moving into the new shop. so i mentioned to a few people that i was going to try lower the kombi, had a few things to bolt in and hopefully lower it. @Beaver @bobby1930 and @Geophy popped over and well bolts didn't want to come off which wasn't really an issue just meant the kombi would be in the middle of the shop till i sorted it.

    no real drama didn't know when i was moving. 

    i had mentioned to a mate a while back With beach hop on the way i really wanted to mix the kombi up a bit and add something a bit different to it. other than it been a white box. I had mentioned this style to a mate a couple of times in passing and he said shit i draw that up for you. wasn't to much longer he popped passed work and traced the wheel arch/door and said it'll cost _ _ _ _ _ _ _  amount. i said hell yeah go ahead which i wasnt really fused about happening any time soon now that beach hop was off. but then covi-19 really kicked in. 2 nights out he turns up and slaps this on the side.

    and now the kombi is stuck in the old shop with new graphics on it and no wheels or suspensions till lock down is off or till i can lest get over there to bring it to the new location.
