https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2405943 How far back from a traffic light do you have to stop in order to see it? The racks I see are easily turned back in for scrap but that visor involves bodywork to repair that clustery.
Seriously, the front seats look like they were upholstered by the guy who does the waiting room chairs down at the free clinic.
The only non-stupid offer I can make involves transportation one way to a cliff. |
What is meant by the traffic light thing? What is between the rack and the top of the bus, old dingle balls? |

With that low hanging Kustom visor over the front windows, you will not be able to see the traffic lights without one of those reflector thingies on the dash.
And the dingle balls look like sisal rope to me.
EDIT: found a photo of an ad of a traffic light viewer.

Corey has come down on his pricing of body parts in the last year. I think he sees the writing on the wall. |

Do we figure it is (at least in part) the impact of decent quality aftermarket parts that are now available?

Apparently the low light Ghia he’s selling for 50K is two cars welded together also.

Couple the visor with the seat raise caused by the huuuge tubs and anyone over 4ft tall would struggle to even see forward out of that bus. Maybe an accessory periscope would help?

I don't know, they might have had two jobs because the back edge of that rear fender hints of the same quality of install.

I suspect that thing was hit hard in the rear. there is no way anyone could fuck up bodywork that bad unless it was a pile of shit from the git-go |

Is the roof oil canning so bad they had had to weld a pipe front to rear to keep it from popping down?. |

Don't worry, it probably doesn't need top gear going from the trailer to the show grounds.
