[QUOTE="Favguy, post: 637340, member: 33639"] Danbury brought in hundreds of new, late model, white Brazilian minibus Kombi's. They sprayed them various colours and converted them to motorhomes. Unfortunately they added a few new areas for rust to get a hold by drilling all over them without even dressing and painting the cut hole edges and then did no cavity wax work. As a result. Ten years later the Brazilian forum, set up mainly to cater for the VW Danbury motorhome crowd, is full of people moaning about how their buses that cost them a small fortune are all now rusting up terribly! In fairness they're generally not "hands on" enthusiast owned and tend to be used and left outside on the whole, so hardly surprising. I'm not aware of any other specific Brazilian bus sites apart from the one mentioned above, which isn't very active at all. I'm personally aware of someone with 3 brand new last edition Brazilian buses, built in December 2013, tucked away with the delivery plastic still on the seats! He won't part with one for less than upper £30k's though! I'm in on/off/on discussion with someone else who has an 8k mile from new last edition, still a minibus, that's still almost perfect as it's been garaged from new, but haven't been able to agree on a sensible price yet. (But getting close!) I've noticed the VW scene in general, but especially the bus scene is full of quite greedy people who have been driving prices of both buses and parts absurdly high for years now. I sometimes wish I was interested in old Comma buses or something where prices are still based in reality! [/QUOTE]
