Hey, I will be in Croatia some time this summer? I can come over and help you get it on the road! YIKES!!!!! :wink:

Kruno,
Croatia is my mother land. My great grandfather emigrated from Croatia in the late 1800's/early 1900's.

One Percenter,
The vents mean that the bus is a panel with windows cut in.

or a CDK.

croatia is my homeland as well. my croatian name is GORAN which means "mountain man". my friends in croatia call me "eagle-butt".

The windows didn't look hacked in to me. They looked finished in the inside and the sills. I thought it strange that there was a pop out also. Seems hacks are usually stationary. Then again BDs are not my forte. Panel was my first thought.

Oh yeah, well I met a Russian girl in Moscow that told me:

Я могу отполировать то с моей рукой.

all indicate to me that the van is genuine and that nothing had been changed (vents, panel, etc....).

on the www I found a lot of these vans, which removes doubts.

pozdrav zemljacima \:D/ nisam se nadao da cu ovdje nabasati na takvu ekipu.

Nice Bus.

I'd start with a power-wash of the entire thing, it looks like a lot of that paint will hose right off.

people, i need help

can I use the newer front skin and put it in a barn. I know the difference in the hole for the wipers and the difference in the size of the windscreen.

Mon Mar 16, 2009 4:22 pm

here are some detailed shots of the wiper divot

also, the windshield size is about 15 mm shorter on a barndoor...I believe all of the 15mm is removed from the top of the glass.

also, you will need to change the mounting pattern of the nose emblem.
