THE KOMBI KONNECTION

yellow box of doom

I'm moving to Perth in August and looking for a Kombi!!

Would summarize what looking for as:

Must have:
Sound bodywork and shassy - as rust free as could reasonably be expected - but dents etc don't matter
mechanically sound - weekend runs and maybe a couple of times a week to work
Ideal fit out would be just the double bed in the back - although if completely open could throw a swag down
1600 engine or larger

Nice to have:
Camper or minibus - don't mind which but not Ute
Space to walk between seats in front to the back
Tidy paint job
Pop-top - but not a major factor

Not Important:
Flashy pimped up paint jobs or dropped suspension
Not too fussed that much about cooker, sink etc - would rather have the space for other stuff
Fancy stereos etc

I am pretty much looking for a simple understated little runner with her own character, has the space to carry a couple of mountain bikes or dive gear, a bed to sleep in overnight for weekend away trips and reliable enough to be able to drive to work if the mood took me. Also, as I know very little about car mechanic-ary restoring an old one myself wouldn't really be an option - I just don't have the skills.

Price Range - 5k ideal, 10k considered for something really good.
Preferably in the Perth Area, or at least within drivable distance from Perth.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking at?

Well I found a Kombi I wanted but sadly due to some pretty major changes in my personal circumstances I am no longer moving to Australia and the really heart breaking bit of course is that I won't ever get to drive my Kombi!!

Thankfully C2CKombies have been great and said that they will help out with reselling her so if anybody in interested in a rather fine looking low light take a look and get in touch with C2CK:

Its the bright yellow beauty of a 1972 lowlight
