Excellent.
All your photos are gone! If you still have the photos from your restoration, would you mind uploading them to thesamba gallery? That's a bit of a rare bird and I'd like to ogle over it some more

Wait a minute -- You took a unique and highly interesting and historic vehicle (the Army bus) and worked like hell on it, and turned it into a run-of-the-mill tin top camper? It's nice work and all, and impressive for sure, but I am disappointed. If you want a camper go get a camper. I am alone in this sentiment?

This military vehicle was the standard. In addition to the color of the van and those heavy rails on the floor, everything else is left: the flag carrier, a carrier for a first aid kit. Benches were missing. In Croatia, there are max. 30 buses VW T2, of which only 15 drives, there is only one with original furniture from the T1 SO-44th It is this white van up to the pictures. |

Very nice work, great pictures. I like your humble workspace. Just enough room to store the bus in between work sessions.

That is a great photo! Is this something that you can drive into at a show? What a great idea... funny, to boot. 18+... metal parts... 1:1 scale... all very well done. 
I am really impressed with the activity of the bus clubs that you show. Is that all in Croatia?

The meeting at Grossglockner is in Austria, Bled is in Slovenia, our meeting organized by VW Buba Club Zagreb is in Rovinj, each last weekend in 5 months. As a club we organize a lot of smaller excursions, eg recently to Medvednica in Zagreb, a trip to the beautiful river Mrežnica.

Nice pictures of some beautiful scenery. The grill picture made me hungry! It looks like a good turn out of VW's too.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
