After more than one year hard work, to get the Germany registration and restoring the whole bus, incl. one holiday in South Africa to get some good contacts and spare parts, my bus is finish. Smile
I love the 5 cylinder sound. LOL

Very nice! I just wish mine was that shiny. Unfortunately, after close on 4 years on a restorer's waiting list, and many failed promises, I have now accepted that mine will be staying rusty
Look after yours, it's gorgeous!

@Wychall
Try to keep your bus in good conditions. VW SA only build 45000 big window busses in 11 years. A very rare car!

@T3 Nev
Yes this is the original color tone, 058  -  wildfire met.

sweet bus, I think I will pull mine from daily driver duties and keep it as a trophy instead, after restoration of course

Well worth the hard work. I'm glad it found a good home !  Big smile

I will never forget taking it to Dunkirk...or rather getting home from Dunkirk on my bicycle  !   LOL

Hopefully I'll see you & the bus at a German bus meeting next year.
