Hi everyone

First of I am a beginner in "Split Windows T1" I do not know to much even I already started to read through all similar topics and sites but there are a couple of questions I could not find any answer.
Make it clear I would like to restore a bus for sale. My family needs some support. I already have my Superbug and pretty sure I will have a "splity" as well but now my family comes first.

Can I replace the standard windshield to the "safari" windshield?
Is my bus still "original" ?

What is the different between German and Brazil buses? Not in quality but in appearance?

I would like to buy a German one but the market is full with Brazilian buses and some of them advertised as German. Even I have an opportunity to buy a "SAMBA" told it is German.

I would appreciate your help guys.

THX

George

Yes, you can replace the windshields with safari windshields.
I am not sure what you mean by "original" in this context but everything will still look like a normal Bus, you don't have to make any major modifications.

Here is a thread about some Brazil vs. German differences

You said you don't care about quality but I would investigate any Bus very closely for issues. Brazil Buses more so because they are known to have substandard restoration or repairs in a lot of cases.
There is a thread about Quality with many pages and opinions:
