What Have You Bought Today?

A 1963 VW print advert for the original ‘splitty’ 23 window Samba, to be framed for the downstairs loo, lol. The copy is hilarious, but nearly 60 years later I can still sort of relate to the conversion I had with the missus when I first started looking at vans ;)

Along the same theme of early buses I’ve just ordered these - will be a bit of wall art for the garage or garden.

Late bay front and deformation panels. Searching fleabay for a patina late bay bumper and grilles, plus headlamps and indicators now. Will also be wiring up the headlamps and indicators so they illuminate :thumbsup:

@t6blo. The guy that I bought my van from had the front metre or so from one of those at the end of his garage as an office set up. It had a desk in it with a pedestal cabinet and electrics for his lap top, phone charging etc. I've no idea whether it was real or a fibreglass (or similar) mock up but it did look pretty cool with a light blue bottom half and cream top half.

Nice :thumbsup:

I‘ve seen fibreglass split window fronts for about £300.

It’ll probably cost me about the same but I get to assemble/spray it this way (and hopefully not smash it in a temper) plus I will enjoy finding the other bits to attach to it.

Something to do I spose :whistle:
