this is what happens when a VW motor gets replaced and there are no VW replacement motors, no VW parts of any kind

Ugly ain't it? But it keeps them on the road

With appreciation to Romano for giving me a quick education on VW's and how rare and appreciated they are in Pakistan, that even in this condition (see the missing tire? ) they are still sought out to be restored!

Not too far gone to save, because in Pakistan, there are only about a dozen VW Kombis / microbus remaining in the 6th largest country in the world.

From what I recall of my talk to Romano, the VW's were never built in Pakistan, and never imported as a car dealership item for sale, they only came into the country when Churches brought them in to use as kids school buses. So very very few ever came into the country. When there is no dealerships with parts to use for repairs, they don't last long, and never as long as you'd expect. Once a motor has a major problem, that's it, and the motors get replaced with modern easy to find diesel engines. If I have any of my info wrong, please correct me so no one gets misinformed!

the Humboldt Wholesale bus... with the funky cool paint, and the VW kombi grafted to the roof

Cool paint style, and I love that the colors and designs start on the VW and flow down onto the bus.

Unusual transport trucking and hauling, hauling VW micro busses, and a VW Kombi hauling a Porsche 550 Spyder

One wheel trailer... the "Trailcar" by Allstate (division of Sears)

The above photo is thanks to Nik (who finds cool photos all the time) check out his blog at http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/

I never know where or when I will find something unusual or interesting, something I've never seen before... like a one wheel trailer. They are in demand by VW people I was told by this new owner, he'd just got if off ebay

That the wood and plate are in such amazing great original condition is astonishing, the major frame piece has been repainted, but the wood wasn't touched

The reason this doesn't fall over (like a person on a unicycle) is the from cross member that is bracing the side to side load ( it's the black part at the bottom of the photo below
