Thankfully, we had a safe trip.

Great to be off the road.

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

We saw this creation on a car carrier at the motel! Haha.

Late at night, by flash, and edited by an App I found ... So it's not a great pic. Early VW Bus - with the middle removed. Haha.

Looks like the unholy unholy union of a VW microbus and an old BMW Isetta. Just a little tiny bit of cosmetic surgery...chainsaw

Some would say this is artist art, I would say that this is a shame. This days an early VW van original and in good shape is worth a fortune.brick wall

The van in the picture looks nice; it would be nicer to see some clowns’ stepping out of it.

Hi Julio,
I also wondered if this might not be one of the quite valuable early buses. And, it's clearly not usable now with the wheel base of a garden tractor. What are you gonna do? Kids and their torches .... Haha.

Could have been smashed and only way to repair was wack it? But you can't really know what happens when people drink and fab.

Thanks

Ya right Gary I wish I had a water jet I could make all kinds of projects . Maybe ill try to talk the boss into how much we need one ya ya that's the ticket. Never did drive one of those VW but my Grandma had a bug that I wish I had to bomb around in . Baha kit was the big thing when I was a kid .Can't beat the gas mileage

Thanks
Kurt

I once saw photos of a project to convert a VW microbus into a dragster. They had the rear wheels tubbed for a solid axle with huge drag slicks, a full roll cage, and were trying to find a way to squeeze in a blown Allison V-12 airplane engine. My guess is that it would have been very fast, but scary and dangerous as all get-out to actually drive. skull
