It surely deserved a restoration.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Wheels look VW so a rebodied Beetle

A rebodied VW, but not a Beetle

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?

Wendax

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

Is there a connection to this two-way vehicle?

That's a nice one, but unfortunately no connection I know of.
