PHOTOS ON THE NEXT THREAD... PRICE ** SOLD **
BASED IN MID-NORFOLK. Absolutely no hurry to sell this. If it doesnt sell by the winter, I will keep it until next year. So no offers at the moment. Was hoping for a Karmann Ghia of similar value but as I am picky I suspect this won't happen. NO other swaps considered.
1969 Danbury conversion. MOT has two months left so will get another 12 months put on. Free tax obviously. Had this a couple of years and have done a few things to it. Lowered with dropped spindles so retains a nice ride. Recently fitted coilovers so absolutely no bottoming out.
Bottom line is, it's still reasonably ratty and was in primer when I had it. I have had a few repairs done and started to get some quotes to get it sprayed. I decided to roller it with a custom VW made up paint in original dove blue, so it's had one coat only. This was temporary so it would be protected and I was going to flat it down to give a dull worn look. I never flattened it as I used it quite a bit so it remains with one coat. You can remove it easily, or flatten and give it a few more coats. The roof is the same, so will need some more coats. Basically, if you know a decent body sprayer then this is the van for you.
OUTSIDE
Dove blue, white roof
Original danbury poptop. The canvas still needs some work to be pinned down to the body 100%, but the bulk of it is done. It's not quite as clean as the photos now! Will try and get some more pics. The danbury roof has a large opening which is braced all the way round so you can get up out of the back seat without banging your head! It's very airy.
Two hammocks in the roof.
Gutters great, will shortly supply photos
Underneath has had the usual welding over the years. Passed last years MOT with no problems.
