Hi I am a vw bus junkie and as a marketing person I am currently looking to do up an exhibition stand using 2 combie split window or bay window combies. Does anyone know where I can get 2 and it doesn't need windows, or doors or much else. Just the body.
Secondly we are looking at buying one to rebuild through a reputable rebuilding company. Can someone help with that please.
Thank you and its taken a lot of work on the internet to try and find assistance. I am based in Gauteng and the event will be in Durban. So the bodies can be in either city or between.
I also market all items VW ie mugs, cushions, beanies, badges, etc. which we are going to go live on our ecommerce website within the next 2 weeks for your combi followers. I am trying to market as many things South African as possible! So if there are welders, knitters, potters, engravers etc, in your subscriber list, I am open to their getting on board.
Thanks
Geniene

Re: Split window bodies and rebuilds
Welcome to ACVWSA VWBusjunkie.
Your best place to find what you're looking for would be gumtree. I repost a lot of gumtree ads for VW buses on the Vehicles for sale forum here. But beware, bus prices have been going crazy for years now, and everyone with an old kombi rusting under a tree in their yard thinks they can retire on the proceeds of selling it. Split bus bare bodyshells have asking prices of R50k upwards. Baywindow buses are a lot easier to find and you can still get rough ones under R10k.

Re: Split window bodies and rebuilds
Hi
in what condition must these "bodies" be ? i have a very rotten fleetline panelvan carcass that you can have for R5K , but the rust is quite bad, if it's only going to be for display purposes then you could just fix it with some fiberglass and paint it (the fiberglass should hold it together
)
you would need wheels in order to move it but we can arrange something for you with some improvised axles and wheels (we have removed all the usable parts from it, there will be an extra cost to make up some axles with rims and tires)....We are based in Port Elizabeth and you can have the body moved up to Durban for around R3500 to R3800 with a transporter, unless you fetch it yourself. If you are interested then i will take a pic or two and post it here tomorrow. The bus with improvised axles and tires should cost under R10K. ...
