Is this a sound-dampening coating or just a protective coating?

Amazing work considering what you started with! Keep it up.

Keep it up! You are doing a great service to that bus and something you can be proud of! :D

I went to Subic Bay and got to travel around the Phillipines in the mid 70's with my Dad, and there were alot of VW's around then.....surprising!

Fair play to you mate - she's looking great! Keep up the good work and, most importantly, ENJOY YOUR BUS!

BTW - while she is in that stripped down state why don't you just cut a couple more windows in? you could sell it in the classifieds for $40K! :wink:

^yeah where is the sunroof, is this some sort of strange brazilian bus or something?

KOMBI MASTER Mon Jul 21, 2008 6:18 am

actually when we first bought our bus there no sunroof but it's orginally came from germany.

DownRiver Mon Jul 21, 2008 6:25 am

Wow you've been busy. Your initial post was March 27th.

Excellent effort, enjoy your bus!

jmsmilin Mon Jul 21, 2008 10:44 am

this is the only bus like that Ive seen, is it OG, are there others with no sunroofs, weird

Is there still an M-Code plate for this Bus??

It would be behind the passenger seat on the bulkhead.

Looks like most of the bulkhead is gone, but maybe it's been put somewhere else in the Bus.

Great Thread!! Bus look great!! :D

Nice work....I give the guy props for having the foresight to save the OG parts since he knew he was gonna de-hack it one day, that shows some dedication...its also way cool that he's doing it to bring back family memories from way back.

It looks much better than it did in March! I admire your tenacity. However, I cannot understand why you left the door handles and wheel wells like that? Why not fix them?

Has anyone been able to determine exactly what this bus was originally? Converted Bay? Other?
