• I never liked the look of VW buses ... until I saw the first picture he posted of this one.
   This picture was even better ... it's like a big metal puppy. :lol:

• Of course it lacks the big VW badge.

• You should but a twin engine in it. I'm thinking 2    1.9tt's and all wheel drive with 150 shot of nitrous on both
  
  (gosh the thoughts running through my head)

• BULLY!
  
  As the other AC/WC organ transplanter (just call me Dr. Christian Barnyard) here, I sure want to be kept informed on the progress of this uberkool project. :lol:
  
  I'm slogging along doing a lot of time consuming rust exorcisim on my TD P-car, but I'm in it for the long haul.
  
  I think I can, I think I can, (repeat)
  
  If your interested, follow my progress (or lack there of) on my CarDomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2145693

• Hey awesome!! You found a Bus!    Now I'm not the only one who's into Diesel Dubs and Buses .
  What are your plans for it?? When you're ready, you can join our Bus Club and come to all our legendary campouts
  Here's my friend's 65 splitty for some inspiration:

  just ignore the fact that he's gone through 11 engines cuz he drives like a crazy person :p (He shoulda made it a TDI .)

• nice split, was it originally a 21-window deluxe or has he made some changes? looks like deluxe beltline and roof but not much else. i love the deluxe roof with the slider *extreme jealousy*.
  
  plans are get the thing welded up and on the road. i have a lot of bodywork ahead of me and we're still trying to get the shop done so i can get to work. its a solid bus but its all relative. its a '66 VW so there is metal work to be done :roll: check out the pic. going stir crazy right now but the plan remains may 20/21 weekend i take it down to the allegany mountains for the first 'field test'  :lol: find and resolve any issues and keep going further from home with each trip.
  
  next winter i'll do all the dreamer *** i want to do. this summer i just want to enjoy it. can't wait.

  I think I recognize that van. That fellow and a bunch of others used to colonize the former Manore marina in Grand Bend every holiday weekend. I lived in a condo across the street from the old marina and had to listen to their shenanigans... They (and many, many others) are the reason I now bought a house 5 miles "inland"....
  
  Grand Bend was great fun when I was 20...

  Well, we could always put diesels in the old busses, right?     Wasn't that the original idea with his?
