Volkswagen Club of Pakistan (VWCOP)

Agreed. I believe its best you make the call in that case.

I called the owner and had a long chat. The bus has been parked for donkeys years and he claims the museum people once contacted his grandfather to buy it.....(I want to know what he smokes but that is for another time)

I have a feeling that the bus would either be sold for a ridiculously high price or the opposite. I'll try and visit him the next time I am in Lahore to take better pictures and maybe talk some sense..

So i followed up on the link posted here by Reezvaan....here is the reply i received regarding the kdf wagen body shell...

The price of the body ex Works is from 290 000 Kc - cca 11 850 Euro - as on photo A, to 470 000 Kc - cca 19 200 Euro for the complete and fully outfitted body ready to install (as per photo B).
We can negotiate and accept the degree of finish and outfitting individually, according to each client's wish or budget.
For example, our all-steel Schwimmwagen body replica can be had as a bare body - without any bolt-on bits, but with engine cover) is Euro 24500 , or in the many possible stages of outfitting in-between, -up to fully outfitted, spray-painted body with folding roof and windows, seats with upholstery, with all electricals and wiring harness, ready to add the battery and to drop the body for the client's rolling chassis...Price is Euro 34600

Check for availability with @nmshaikh. And you might want to be quick because these run short pretty quickly.

checked that he quoted :-# me 5500rs (60$)

while the same beading was sold by him for 2000 to 2500 some time ago

I don't know who quoted you the 2000 to 2500 price. $60 was always the price.

The breakdown of the $60 was $30 for the seal bought at WCM. add $18 shipping to Canada. Add $4. (13% HST) The landed cost of the seal in Canada is $52. The seal did not mysteriously fly to Pakistan for free. PIA charges $125 for a (upto) 28 kg box. (The seal weighs 2 kilos btw.) I have to divide the cost on any parts that are contained in the box. I don't plan on retiring on the "fortune" that i make selling VW parts any time in the future. I suggest you make your own arrangements to get the parts for your project. Like I said $60 WAS the price.I am sold out!

[nmshaikh]

I am sure there is a reason that I can explain. I believe there were two qualities available. The cheaper ones would have been all out by now and the price he quoted now would be from the costlier ones.

@nmshaikh does this as a hobby and its NOT his business so if I were you I wouldn't doubt that there was a valid reason for a different price for the same item.

@Reezvaan...There is no cheaper quality. I bought just one quality..the best. German wherever possible, Made in the US WCM seals, boots and the like.
