Thanks Gents. Sadly life circumstances have me considering letting this one go at the moment. We'll see what offers land on the table. It's certainly been a fun few years of ownership Twisted Evil Smile Cool

Wow! A huge amount of interest this last week from all over the globe, and of course everyone wanting to know what I'd like to get for her, but no firm offers on the table yet. Of course I'd like as much as I can get for the kombi, but ultimately the best offer takes it ....... and once I shake on an agreeable figure then the deal's done and the bus is gone. Don't be shy Cool

A few cool pics sent from the photographer (thank Matt Cool https://www.facebook.com/MattDearPhotography) today that show the interior with a lick of grey where there used to be a horrible green KF bulkhead, and the rear window tidied up with some new paint blending. Also found the "80" stencilling under some cream rattle can when we cleaned up the decklid. Nice to see this Portuguese requirement has survived all these years Very Happy

Kombi looks fantastic Ben! Good luck on the sale, I'm sure you'll do well. Now only if I had a money tree growing in the back she'd be mine. One of my all time favorite buses.

Hey Maurice! Thanks man Wink What a blast hanging out with you guys at Hessisch dude Cool
Figured either this or Quality Sound has to go really, and I've enjoyed driving QS around Europe so much this summer that I'd like to keep it. We'll see what happens. Love 'em both if I'm honest! I'll let fate decide .............

Take it easy dude. See you soon I hope!

So I'm glad to say that the Kombi survived the sell off and is still with me Very Happy

Few pics from 2018 to keep things current ……….


Enjoying good company at the BenPon Barndoor Gathering, followed by a little road trip around the Netherlands.

Wow I don't remember seeing that photo before, is that when you found it johnny d. Also what is going on in Germany now, you can PM if you prefer, as my 36 yr old brother lives in Berlin with his girlfriend and barely emails me. He's an artist must be the personality Wink What's a good website for news in Germany?

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon.
