escorted Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Leave the rack attack at the front and convert it to a pop top! Na but seriously looks tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I would ditch the rack, it's not at all authentic. when I was a lad my neighbours had one of these, theirs was an ex dutch postal service bay (a lefty) that had been converted for camping duties in the UK, and they toured Europe in the mid-70's in it before bringing it into enzed. they're very cool wagons - but then you knew that. why'd the previous owner sell - sounds like she went to a lot of trouble to get it here... looking forward to seeing this on the road.

10Speed Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 the nose cones are different between Kombi and beetle with the Kombi having a 2 inch lower input for the gear selector, which is handy for raising boxes (in beetles). Also split Kombi's had reduction boxes on the end of their axles adding 3 or 4 inches ride height. if you're serious about an engine lift I wonder if type3 cooling tin would fit?

MichaelJFox Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Jesus Christ this thing is fantastic! I love the roofrack man, I'd hang onto it. I want one of these bastards, but too many cars already and they're not cheap. Well done on finding a nicely done/good color early bay in nz man.
