Look again, there isn’t a single VW part on that.

Here's one seen by @norcalvwcamper (Instagram) all photo credits go to him:
I have no idea why, but I always find myself liking these creations. It obviously sucks to see buses hacked and cut, but it's always neat to see creativity and new ideas in the form of VW buses.  |

That's a crazy bus - bet changing a rear tyre is fun!

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

There was a model kit that I built in the late ‘70s that was a bus like this.

Those are some awfully wide rear tires and it looks like a stock bug exhaust? Surely the exhaust is a fake and there is a V8 hidden inside?

Another cool one seen on Instagram lately, this one being a project (from earliest post to most recent):
User is @bighappyrods which, based on their pictures, seems to be a hot rod shop that has stepped onto unknown territory
Bus is a brazilian 15 window judging by the pressed front logo. In my opinion, seeing one have this much extreme work done to it is much better than getting painted up nice and pretty and being sold as restored, even though this bus could be considered a 'hack.' Check out that last picture, welded up rear hatch, and they're gonna put in either a sliding or side-hinged barndoor-looking decklid  |

What is this, a widened beam? Makes me wonder how the torsion leaves were handled! Maybe it's two two-thirds beams joined in the middle?

The water cooled headlights are a nice feature.

Thanks! So, if I'm reading that right, the beam looks wider because it's 8 inches farther forward.
