Hey Everyone, I purchased a 1970 Brazilian Kombi back in March 2017 and am presently tearing in down for a rebuild.  I have a nice heated shop where I am doing all the work and almost ready to start some welding on a couple of bad sections.  Would love to have an open house and meet and greet if anyone is interested.  Would love your ideas and comment or help.  Looking at February 10th at noon.  I will supply pizza and water and if you want to bring your own drinks that would be great.

Shop is Located in Acton and more details will be posted once I know who might come out

I will try and add a few pictures so you can see my progress so far

Thanks, Brian

This is really an incredible machine. Looking at the front beam, gives some idea to how well preserved this thing is. Black paint everywhere still... Nice find, I'd love to hear the story when I come over.

Always like seeing brazilian cars as they have a mixture/ blend  of styles and parts that do not correspond to  the north american market. I will try to come by as well on feb 10th as I would like to see your bus.

Hi, we are also interested in coming to look on the 10th as my daughter and I have been watching some stuff on the internet about Kombi's.  Doug

Hi my husband, Bill Cressman and I, along with Steve Hill are planning on being there and possibly Steve's girlfriend.

See you Saturday.
