Really? I thought around RM10k-20k can get already

oppsss..the one i saw is much more better then the blue one u post..the ownner just finish rebuild the car then he sold it at bugOrama..didn't see the photo u post got rusty..umm..but if u are bring out 10k is hard lar..20k might be a small chance for u to get..cause alot of ppl are looking for this van..looks cuter then the other model called combi i think..this type call safari or baywindow..

lol , sien all bug lover , i no bug to love lol

Well, any idea on where I can get it at least?

if u really wanna get that kind of van..i think roughly 20k is minimum(don't think the condition is that good also)..to 40k maybe..u can go down to johor to have a loot..johor is the best place to hunt for classic volkswagen..

hello....don't call me sifu la...i also learning like u..
anyway gald to see a few more new faces...please join in frequent wether u have or doesnt have VW.

btw...fipoch...20k...IMO it's an impossible task.u want one?i can show u one...
rusted all around,parts gone here n there,no engine,this n that also asking for 40k.
well anyway,this is also a combi,it's earlier model and it's called split window combi.safari is unique as it has 23 windows. this only has 13 windows.so another words it's a 13's minibus/minivan/microbus.

johor....if u can find,chances are u will need to come out with around 100k,no joke,that is the s'porean price.
if u wan cheaper,i suggest u go kedah,ipoh or kelantan.

if u have no experience in VW,better don't look for a bay window first,FYI it is the most expensive VW in terms of maintnance itself.not to say all the spare parts are rare items and u'll need to order from states.

but if u really want it,why not,we all here would love to see someone restore this baby.

purple one in taipan?
are u kidding me?i go there almost everyday..how come i din see it!!!aiks!!!!
now i want to hunt the microbus already...

tengok itu...askar damn geng..u ask 1 question..he can write long long out..details too..that's y i call him sifu..

no lor..i cut the hole at the number plate holder there..then build 3 more metal to cover up the side and the back..leaving the top open..but must see how it works 1st lar..i also not sure how to do it..but comfirm must cut jor wan..tat's y i dun wanna spend so much money on the back lid..very expensive all together if i buy and plus modify the lid..

bro...did u think about drainage?and also wat about the rain?
yes i think the air flow would be real good..
but from wat u explain,i'm afraid u need to think of ways to let water comes out fast when rain heavily as it "scoops" the water in!
unless u used 4 or 5 pieces of metal to make the water flows "outside" the engine compartment...i'm not so sure,need experiment for that...
i try use paint and draw what i'm thinking off....
wait a while.

got think about that part too..maybe the drainage will be inside the lid..just bottom of the hole i cut..then there got 1 gutter like tat to flow the water out..

hmmm..nvm..wait for ur drawing 1st..

this is wat i think off...despite of the pop out ones,inside will have another metal with alot of louverd,be sure the bottom is not close so that no water is trapped there and no rust issues hopefully,u can see inside the bonnet,where the red colour stuff,that maybe other metal or simply find plastics to guide the water and flow it out from the bottom part of bonnet or put a pipe to guide it down from,say,our useless heater channel holes?


Attached thumbnail(s)

actually i wanna do like this..but i comfirm all the holes is not nice..will look ugly..cause i believe the workmanship is sucks lar..


Attached thumbnail(s)

u see those louverd just like what i drawn?
put it inside n ur "scoop" cover it lo...hahaha...

well..i got to see how lor..cause if the scoop thingy cost more..i will do like the 2nd back lid i post here..but i dun really think the finishing will be like the one in the photo..

boss boss n sifu sifu...mau tny skit...aritu i pasang radio baru...
problem dier biler tekan brek radio mati pastu on balik...mcm elektrik x sampai...
ader idea x...???

saya rasa wayar yang dia sambung at the main supply tu ada problem sedikit..sebab bila teken brake..ada brake light kat belakang tu nyala.. dia short kat main supply tu lar..yang ada banyak banyak fuis tu..dia kena cari supply yang betul/cukup..kalau radio awak tu share supply dengan benda yang lain..harap awak faham apa lar yang saya cakap..

fentul...
find out if your radio wire goes to the same fuse location with other wire,simply take it out and stick at another one and try again (make sure u overlook if the fuse colour is the same as it indicates the AMP)
if it still occurs,place back the wire on the original place where u took out and go to shop and check...

orite2 thx..heih...beetle beetle....

umm..ur idea is a bit dangerous..but i like it..belum cuba belum tau..sudah cuba baru tau..if the fuse supply a high voltage..might burn up ur radio wan wor..i not sure lar..but i heard that for those light and signal dun simply touch touch..

no la..the voltage is the same 12v only ma...some even just 6v...
see the fuse colour one..for lights if not mistaken they have gone thru another stuff...i forgot wat's the name already..regulator?

i also dunno lar..haha..

last time i simply play with it..wat i get is really deep $h!t..horn once..air cond off..horn again..air cond on back..keep on horning..air cond cannot turn it on..horn longer..horn also gone..

that's y i dun simply play with tat part..scare of it already..
