German engineering at its best...they last forever....

If that isn't a challenging enough project... you could always buy Tam's bus Northernraider

 

[Dazzlin]

New spare tyre, and it's on the road....

 

[Northernraider]

Ive restored worse than that

 

[Hymerbell]

They’re roughly the same condition...I only stopped and took a picture because it reminded me of Tams...mind you at least his has got wheels...

And you’re about to again...

Ha ha ...its bad ...but it aint that bad

The chassis is solid thats the main thing ... bodywork isnt a problem. And once its welded and protected better than merc protect them it will last another 15 -20 years no probs.

 

[Hymerbell]

Yes I did have a close look at the chassis and you’re not wrong...I’m surprised you can see that from the photo

I have actually seen far rustier ones restored. I thought then that it was either pointless or a financial black hole. The restorations took many months and a whole load of cash. In the end, they were sold and made a smallish profit. The rationale was that they were saving one piece of history at a time. But all that stress and money tied up for so long would not work for me

Spotted this project a few years back in India, spoke to the guy in the garage and he told me it was three different vehicles welded together , and it would be completely built and on the road within 6 months. i would like to have seen that, but not driven it.

Cheers Cris.

When we were in the Pyrenees with the Landrover there was a VW camper shell on top of one of the mountains that was used as a shelter for the local shepherds. It was riddled with bullet holes. I didn’t think being a shepherd was a hazardous job.

Spotted this down a lane on my walk the other day... any guesses on what car it is..?

No idea how it got there...
