  1. IMG_4027.JPG IMG_4022.JPG hi,
    New to the forum.
    Always wanted a vw for many years and a VW Jurgen autovilla came up on eBay and took the plunge and was going to convert it to a restored food truck but now going to be back to camper, and will most likely be out for hire.
    So here it is but it doesn't look like that at the moment as the back has been scrapped and under going restoration.

  7. Yes I kept all the key parts as I'm going to build it back as it was just with slightly different aluminium cladding and new hardwood frame

  14. Well work is fully under way and now gone in to garage for winter so I can get on with work.
    Mostly stripped apart from underside which will happen this week at some point when taller axle stands arrive.
    Found few bits need welding bit in footwell and lower part of windscreen and under side of doors.
    Other than that all seems good at the moment.

    Think they used the same tin openers as Devon to cut the shell up :eek:
     
  16. following with interest - mine nearly finished, will post pics soon.

    Yours is an original early turtle version, it seems the overbid has been added later. Ae you selling any of the bits you have taken from the inside? Need some cushions!
