Here are some pics taken during the restoration of my 75 VW Bus standart model (here we call "Kombi"). The name of my Kombi is "Leopoldina" Very Happy .

It was originally 1500 engine, but now have a 1600. The original body colour is alabastro beige, a very common colour, used by the brazilian VW between 1973 and 1977.

1975 was the last year of the split Kombi in Brazil. The "clipper" model started in 1976, and was basically a split body with differences in the front and rear, doors and cabine. Bay window started here only the 90's.

The VW front emblem was stamped in the front of the standart and pick up versions since 1973. Before 73, it was a separate piece, painted of white in pick up and standart, and chromed in "de luxe" model and special model (6 doors).
