Seems as if the van suffered from heavy rust damages during its years of active service and was repaired for some TÜV inspection.
Look how some prof welded in a complete lower bulkhead wall made of flat thick sheet steel.
Yes, Holert is/was a big German tyre seller´s name. |

I'd get a complete BD from Gerson and section the #'s in... that's what you'll end up doing anyway! |
Thats the only way to do it or save your $$$$ till the real deal becomes available, you wont have to wait too long.
The real deal will always be more desirable than a repop |

It looks to me like you have a few nice bits of rusty metal to hang on the wall........ _________________

Its the rusty scraps of a 52 panel, The only way it is worth doing is if you can sweet talk Gerson in to making you a complete bd panel at a bargain price and why would you/he do that? 52 panels are not too hard to find. This is a joke and I am surprised how gullible some folks are |

If you really do this then you sir are top of the 'worst resto list'.
Just compared it to Jurgens samba and I think you have the edge.

HUGE coconuts man! Funny thing is we have seen what you guys do and have no doubt that this will come together. You guys are the poster children for building sh!t. The words too far gone is not in your dictionary. I love these threads! Thanks for posting this stuff and completing what others wouldn't even consider a parts bus. People over here scrap and cut up buses/bugs that shouldn't be. You guys are the $H!t. _________________ BarryL wrote:

The whole thing was all there just waiting to be re-atomized. Funny how easily they cut them up back then."
