I thought buses in the northeast were rusty! That might be shaping up to be the bus with the least original metal on the road. What a ton of work. Amazing.

Doesn't look like he is to me?
Good job! Lots of buses in better shape than that are being cut up. Maybe they should be shipping them to Poland instead! Keep the pictures coming please! |

n-u-t-s
indeed, polish people are known for their manual craftmanship.
a hammer, sheet metal and things get done.
Supernice save, that would have been a partscar for most. NICE |

Totally stellar save. Most buses saved dont go from frame falling off bus to frame repaired by hand using tools to make it all from scratch on the same samba thread page. Currently wishing I lived in poland just to watch and learn.

Very nice work indeed! You fabricated these frame parts all yourself? Impressive. I will have to replace parts of my frame pretty soon, but do hope that I'll get everything I need from KF or AC.

The rusted in half gas pedal, really gave me a perspective of just how much work was involved on your project.
I have much respect for all of your hard work and amazing results.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

Thank you guys for good opinions. The metal job in this split screen now is finish, now car stay in paintgarage(?),
so We don't need parts, because 95% parts is home made, We boguht only the floor at the side door - new, floor on
rest is from VW T4, and floor above the engine is from VW T25 - We have large engine access. Fuel tank from VW bay
- the biggest.
I show you all pictures, but I have very more.
It is home made :
More pictures soon |
