Just where would you draw the line for this bus? 🙅🏽‍♂️

That's the risk you take for a bus like that.

Loose slips sink ships


Too funny

Wow! That is crazy to pick up 3 Barndoors within such a short time span.

The floor on the Kombi looks really nice:

Was something bolted to the floor on the right side there?

I keep trying to think of something to say about this find, but my fingers are speechless. From no barndoors to 3! Congratulations, be sure to update the registry and holy fucking shit. Shocked

Glad you decided to share your finds with the greater bus world buddy!
Your inbox is exploding I'm sure.
Acquiring the Garrick Kombi was a huge score in itself, but the other 2 as well (three I guess) is a stroke of good fortune on par with a lottery win.
The Garrick Kombi is one of the most solid buses I have ever seen up here, BD or split!

I'm very pleased you have them all safe in your possession!

Thanks! Yes it is still hard to wrap my mind around what happened, was almost too easy.

Everett the plate on the kombi floor has no real purpose, there's just three bolts going through and a set of plates on the other side. Maybe for extra strength? I have no idea.

I'll update the registry for sure, the milk delivery panel would be one of the newest barndoors @ 20-117603.

Thanks Keith, you'll have to come check them out some time!

while I LOVE seeing these kinds of posts, I always wonder how many of these buses are really finds, or are known buses and someone finally convinces the seller or ponies up the cash.

were all three of these barndoors unknown? seems like the kombi may have been? Was the seller a VW person?

I would say the kombi is the least "find" of them all, it was found in 2013 by Keith and then kind of went under the radar, and even changed provinces until 2016. I just learned today that the owner posted a few pics of it in 2015 in the gallery and a few of the panel in 2014. The only 'out of the blue-no pics-no info etc' find was the window panel and the later panel. I myself almost wouldn't consider the kombi and one panel true finds but to some degree they are as they weren't listed for sale or anything. It was the owner of them that ended up in contact with me saying I have a bus for sale, same as in the Subway restaurant the owner approached me and said I have one and I'd like to sell it. Still 'finds' but just a bit more known about? Depends on how you look at it I guess.

Funny how the head lights were taken out. And what did they use to cut the rear wheel arches, a chainsaw ?? Nice to see a 13 deluxe get saved !!
