Why cut it up?
It would've been easier to sell it whole, much faster, less effort. Act of retribution?? |
Right!!
Took me some time to come to this point...
Selfish... stupid...lack of skills...lack of money...Maybe because I drive a bus every fucking day for like over 2 years now I lost interest in such a project.
This thing was a POS allright.
Some of these parts people can use on their project... maybe I will keep them and change my 67 to a earlier one someday? Or maybe I will throw them away?
I think I might put it all back together now... we will see! 
My wife says I lost motivation because I spend to much time on the "Wood U Hit It" thread!!
See me @ Speedworld!

from the looks of the rust on the bus, I know people that have cut a vw up for less rust, I am not defending him, but yes other with more solid vws can use the parts to complete thier projects

I wouldnt say its "just" a VW as im sure there are many people who were following this tread wishing they had at least the POS you started with but you cut it up and for all of us YOU GAVE UP and lost the plot.

On a related note.
That looks like a Vintage Warehouse bolt in drop to me.

| has anyone ever attempted to alter the rear hatch window in a later model split bus? my question would be concerning how difficult it would be to cut out the large rear window opening and instal a smaller size window from an earlier bus. is this doable and how difficult do you think it would be? |
| abeed wrote: |
| i understand that it may be difficult to do. i can get the parts for free and like the look of the earlier hatches. i also like the poptop westy so an ealier bus is not really an option. i would like to know if anyones ever attempted it. As far as the comment that it would look like crap i question how much difference it would make compared to the earlier hatches. i like the look of the smaller window in an earlier bus and i am trying to achieve the look with a later model bus. i seemes to me that converting the window size of a larger window bus the the looks of eithier buses would be very similar in appearence. i dont think hatch width would be a major factor in the look of the rear of the bus |
| abeed wrote: |
| dam u people are really set against the hatch conversion--no one has mentioned if they have actually seen this type of conversion before they just seem to want to pass judgement---as for the people concerned with the distruction of precious split parts, the hatches are pretty rusty anyway and i thought this project would be a FUN project ---i am not trying to FOOL anyone with thinking my bus is an earlier model--i just like the look of a smaller window--blindspot and all-- |
How did that turn out Richard???

oh come on, that wasn't that nice of a bus to start with.
Chris did the right thing by bailing before he wasted any more time and money on that pit.
