"Gutebusse HH" ?

That's the name I also found but the owner of that website is a company called American van Roltho GMBH. Basically they're the ones that are advertising and selling the conversions but the engine conversions and the fender flares/spoilers are by KR Styling. Question is who is doing the actual work on the car? ON the site it says that the engine conversion is by KR Styling so I assume that they do the work. But maybe that assumption is wrong.

On the pictures I found they were only advertising the KR Styling on the car. No mention of another company.

I've seen the KR Styling pictures on the web. It looks very similar, but it is not the same car.
I've taken the puzzle picture myself, there was no KR logo on it. The maker responsible for the puzzle car has a website of its own where you can see the puzzle car and several other VW Transporter conversions.

Unlocked and open for all experts again.

Sorry for the interference during the lock for Majeko.

I have found the puzzle's car on "T3-Society" website, where it is called "T3RS-Doka". There are indeed slight differences with the "Gutebusse HH" version : smaller mirrors, seven-spoke wheels instead of five-spoke ones, black fuel filler, no color-keyed "eyebrow" above the grille.

It is a Doka (= Doppelkabine = King Cab) and it is called T3RS, but I still need the builder.  :)

The same car appears as a completed project on "T3-Dezent" web site, I guess this is what you're looking for.

Yes, that is the builder I was looking for.

A well-earned point for you. BTW, this T3RS has a mid-engine layout!
