Finally on the Road! Finally on the Road! Finally on the Road! Finally on the Road! Finally on the Road!
Mose Howard
After 1.5 years, I finally got the bus on the road. She started out as a $800.00 gutted, rotted basket case of a bus. I did all the work (except the spray-in rhino liner and the seat upholstry) myself. Those long hours of welding and sanding are all forgotten and the pleasure of driving it is all worth it!

My Work
These are original from the factory "Diesel Kombis" they are build in 1981 and 1982 and they have that strange "front radiator" for cooling the engine. They use to work in very hot temperature, so the engine dont last longer. The VW stop de production because of it, but a lot of people stil use them to work as you can see in the pictures. I had not see any of these with colectors or museum, only in work, so the engine its not so bad. Here in Brazil the Diesel is cheeper than Gas thats wy they try these engine for a couple of years.

12/28/04 DON 'The Emissary' SERIBUTRA Some of these were sold in Mexico and were usually driven into the Southwest U.S. by Mexican nationals. I have seen a few pics of the Brasilian bus which is a mutant of 1950s body panels with the Bay Window parts.

Kombi 4x4 was developed for Dacunha Mobiles in association with QT Engineering and Equipaments (in 1980 and 1985 in Brazil). They develop one new 4 wd traction to be used with Volkswagen engine. The system was created for use in dirt roads, in rains seasons or difficult trespassing grounds. They build two and make fields tests but the Volkswagen was not interested. It could have been a nice option for off-road actions and travel with our bus. Kombi 4x4 foi desenvolvida pela Dacunha Veculos associado QT Engenharia e Equipamentos ( em 1980 e 1985 ), desenvolveram um novo sistema de trao total aplicado mecnica Volkswagen. A Dacunha/QT, visava diversificao na aplicao do sistema de trao integral, com vistas ao mercado rural. Foram fabricadas apenas 2 unidades da Kombi 4x4. O resultado das modificaes foi positivo, em ladeiras, mesmo secas, onde a tendncia ao patinamento irreversvel, um simples toque na alavanca propicia uma sada imediata, sem titubeios. O sistema no produz rudos estranhos e provoca pouca perda de torque no motor quando acionado e no altera o relativo conforto da suspeno original. A Kombi 4x4 provou que poderia ter sido uma importante aliada nas operaes em estradas no rotineiras, em estaes chuvosas, em stios e para comrico em estradas do Interior. Dados: Motor3 Out/85

My bus is build in 1973 and have little diferences, like that corner glass window, and here there ar no skylight windows set in the roof line, only in the early 59 models. My bus is all original from the factory exept for the shift hand detail, and the cigarret lighter (3 of them) instaled on the pure air intake on the roof - (what a bad job, must be removed), and the seat covers. Here there are not Safaris Windows also. That is a shame, because here is a very hot country. I start the restoration projet and i wish to find this Safari Windows to buy, but in Brazil is impossible.

My 1975 Fleetline being used for a photoshoot on a Cape Town beach, South Africa. Cape Town is a famous location for film and photo shoots. The Atomic Kitten video for It's OK was shot at the same location and features a 356 convertable and later on a quick shot of a Yellow Split Panel

13 Splits gathered at a recent meeting of the Kombi Owners Club of Cape Town, South Africa. The meet was on Paul Cochrane's farm just outside of Cape Town. Only 12 kombi's on the pic, poor Farouk couldn't make it to the set on own steam - hope he'll join us next time.
