07/25/02 Daniel This is one of the best feelings, when you finally get your bus painted.
Looking good, just be careful not to scratch it when re-assembling cause this can be one of the worst feelings.
Keep us posted!

That's a hackjob just like Julian's. Don't try to make up a bunch of crap that VW made 19-window busses at Hanover. It's just a bunch of BS made up by people trying to justify the fact that they hacked their bus and now want to say it's original.

08/09/02 just dane check this link, showroom red/white bus.
strange 19 windows.

07/30/02   post the photo for us all to see.
07/30/02 julian Dalton Was sent phota from Denmark this year of bus with one side window blocked off. this was specified order by some foreign converter as some of the interior furniture would have blocked it anyway.so hey presto a factory produced 10 window bus.
VW are noted for their wilingness to sell in the special order market. what ive read of them anyway.
Not looking for labels or excuses for this vehicle
She was virtually dead when found. (Will post photo for you)Set out to rebuild a vehicle myself and young family can enjoy for many years to come, thats all.
07/28/02   Don't try to make excuses for your bus, trying to make it correct, if its a custom, say it is. There is no way you could order any window combo on any model, if so then why is there no factory buses like yours, or even any 67 23 windows? Sure you can order highroofs with windows, but that is a different story. Radar buses are coach built so that example won't work. I am waiting to see a bus with skylights and no sunroof, then I will have seen it all.
07/28/02 Julian Dalton VDub Body shop are doing the body work for me. I done most of the strip. and will complete the resto, mechanics & interior. She is coming home next month.
RHD British import. There was never any rear windows it was imported for a Devon Camper conversion. VW would supply vans with any combination of windows you cared for anyway.
11/21/23 was never a take it or leave it option.
Even doors were cut in the front panel such as in German police radar vehicles
07/27/02 mad guitar murphy NICE! did you do this in your garage? That's an A+ job. What kind of paint did you use?
07/25/02 Ed Whatch you talkin bout Willis?! I think it looks great and keep it goin. Is it RHD?
07/25/02   Like um, wheres the rear most window? Was it filled in for some reason?

Here she is being backed off the tilt tray - not the "Aussie" cooling vents high up on the rear panel. The gate posts were VERY narrow but she didn't come unstuck & I was able to breath a sigh of relief when she was out of the weather again. Thankfully out here in Orange cars rust much less than in Sydney.

I live in Australia & we recently moved 3 hours west from Sydney to a town called Orange & so Kitty, our '67 panel which we've had for about a year now, waiting for her transformation, had to be tilt-trayed the 300kms. Fortunately it didn't rain.

07/17/02 Rikki James Yes it is, it's my 1954, 2.6 deluxe, pic taken
at the last Ace Cafe meet, which incidentally was
a fantastic v-dub night.
Fancy doing the meet some time?
07/11/02 cornish dragon Looks a lovely fire breathing dragon Ricki !

Thanks for organising RTTS so well best club

62 samba looks a lot of work done there.
Cheers,

11/11/02 jarad Well, with Rusty included, I have found a total of 5 of these busses. I think Mike and Rusty are right. Especially after seeing Rusty's Pics, I think Sundial is the creator of this awesome camper. Thanks Rusty! More info is always welcome. Email Me or Rusty! Thanks!!
11/09/02 rusty I just got one of these with a partial interior and yes it does seem to be a Sundial conversion, all of the hinges and woodwork on the Sundial bed match the wood and hinges in the tops cabinets
07/24/02   Jarad, obviously you don't come around here much. You know that no one wanting to buy a bus, knows how to use the email. Just keep checking back here and you will see the interested parties. All typing in for you to contact them.
07/24/02 jarad This bus is for SALE!! Located in Austin, Tx. Email for info!
07/22/02 KRAIG HEY THE TOP APPEARS TO BE AN EARLY ADVENTURE-
WAGON CREATION. ADVENTUREWAGON WAS A NOR.CAL
CAMPER CONVERSION COMPANY.
THE INTERIOR WOULD TELL THE SOURCE OF PARTS USED FOR THECONVERSION. ALSO LOCATION OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. NICE BUS GUS.
07/07/02 jarad It had some homemade interior that was ruined by the weather. it was not Sundial interior, but i guess it could have been at one point. So you think it's a sundial top?
07/07/02 Mike I believe the slang reference to these are "snowtop campers", there are a few around. Doesn't it have sundial interior?

= L O M B A R D R U N = I've been thinking what a great photo this would make if Lombard St. in San Francisco could be filled with Buses. If 10-15 Buses (1967 or older) are willing, I will try to set this up. Email me back and let me know if you are interested. -David
