OK, let's do the math:
Wood body + fully drivable + no vents for engine = overheating engine = overheated body = one really big FIRE! |
Maybe its fully driveable....when someone is pushing... _________________ 1971 Superbeetle

Guys I don't think the wood bus is air cooled. Theres a steering wheel in the back seat. It's probably based off something entirely different. _________________ http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=366056 - My '73 Super Build. 2332cc, 16" Fuchs |

Either far too much time on thier hands or cabin fever from long winters, or maybe something in the water? _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

the bus looks to be on a type 1 pan hence the odd rear steering wheel

I don't know if this little "gem" has been posted yet or not but I found it at the supermarket four blocks from my house. Did a drive-by shooting with the cell phone cam so my apologies for the blurry shots. Enjoy.

What are those little plates over the exhaust hole for? Keeping phlegm from spraying on the car in the rear?
