Oh, really...i didn´t see the issue til yet. I will phone Ivan from volksworld to get some issues.
If you want some better pictures, you can bought them. I make a
special Edition with dimensions up to 130 cm x 90 cm, in a perfect finish. A friend of mine sold them in his internetshop as a limited edition.

dont get me wrong, there are some TOP shots - like that one^^
just that some of the text looks a little '3d' (ie last page), & some colour a little washed out?

nice idea on the prints
do you have a link?
*i've just realised the photographs are all your own work. nice! :oops: *

Axel, what tyres are on the bus?

..may seem a stupid Q., but which way round do they go?- nut or bolt in the engine bay? :?

Would there have been a washer btween the nut & the firewall? :?

Also, would there have been any kind of rubber seal/grommet between the tray opening & the drainage tube at the back?..thanks

congratulations on the very detailed and nicely printed article in the new Käfer Revue ! this bus deserves it !

The article states the color for the chassis as Ral 7039 quartzgrau.
Is this what you used and the actual color for the kasten ?
Just asking because I'm looking for primer for my 54 project, so want to come as close as possible to the original color.I have not a bit of grey left on the undercarriage, mine's brown all over :lol:
thanx in advance.

I remember going into the Town hall at H. O. for the dinner that evening and suddenly discovering this awesome Barndoor Panel on display. The shelving and NOS parts box display was tasteful and impressive. I know people say it all the time, but I think that for at least a second or two, that I was actually breathless while starring at it. Absolutely AWESOME restoration. It really made my night at HO. Rick Spohn and I look dumbfounded in those pictures that "RockStock" posted back on page 1 checking out the Bus. Way to go Axel!
