Even with all those options and NOS parts ... it's still a lot of money.

It sure is expensive!
But to build a bus like that would probably cost you more...

And nicest thing is.... for that amount of money it doesn't have the correct taillights :confused: :( That's sort of things make me doubt about the quality of the rest....

I'm really sure the bus had that kind of taillights, at that time (8 years ago) i tought it were buggy taillights :o
Glad i know better now !

Meetlint said that he can put it back into shape :)
But I bought him a better barndoor front bumper at the Raoul meeting in Belgium,
witch I visited with Volkswouter in 2003 ... at that meeting there was also a
solid alu barndoor front logo for sale and some kdf parts :cool:

The taillight on the 55bus are of the mid '51-'54 type, these are really dark. On the other way I don't think the would use the old stuff first (like fifo or something ;) ) why should they? The type after the barndoors is nearly the same but the have a flat lense and are a bit more brighter red. The place of the reflector is also weird, there mounted in the corner IF the are on post55 busses. Not that I know everything about this subject but I've been reading alot because the right taillights wil cost me about 1000 euros, I would never forgive myself buying the wrong lights ;)

I'm sure you're right Mr Split,but you cannot ignore that VW made a mess off there busses in those days :cool:
Barndoor bumper on post barndoor,wrong taillights,and on ... a couple of years ago there was an article
in the Volksworld with all the changes explained during the production of the type2,and sometimes there
where more than 5 or 6 (small) changes .... in one month !!! :eek:
