It surely deserved a restoration.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

This is a VW Type 82, the so-called 'Kübelwagen'. I haven't found the converter yet.

This is what it looked like after restoration. Was it homemade?

You found the right car. The conversion was done by a company.

Was the company a coachbuilder, or was this division merely a sideline?
Title: Re: Wendax 4490

I know hardly anything about the company, but I don't think that it was a coachbuilder primarily.

You found the place where it received its latest technical inspection

As far as I could find anything the company was mainly an iron wholesale.
