Brilliant work! I'm restoring mine at the moment, nice to see your restoration.

Very good work. The bodywork reminds me very much of the experiences and adventures with my Samba. Very nice Samba. Fantastic

Also... you mentioned the purchase price and the auction prices but you didn't mention the cost of the restoration. So if I can be so bold...

[@scrambaba]

I would guesstimate $50 for the paint and bodywork and then another $25 k for parts and assembly. Would need to get $100 k to break even….Just a guess

[@scrambaba]

$28000? gotta be kidding! Would‘ve let nature run its course with this one. Would have to value at least at $100 k to make this worthwhile I would think.

[@justpassnthru]

$28,000 for a vehicle in this condition??? Mind Blown! 😨

8 years ago?! Any plans to showcase more recent cars?

[@metalworksclassicautoresto9583]

Definitely...this was just a too cool of a Bus find to not share with everyone.

Ballpark..... What does a 2 year restoration cost?
