|
I saw this Bus in the gallery and my jaw nearly hit the floor. That thing looks amazing. Granted, if I owned any barndoor I do not think I could go that far with the modifications, but who knows what he had to start with. With his, the owners, alterations they change the look of the Bus quite dramatically. Would love to see that thing in person! |

I think it was made into a 15 window, as I only know of one 15 window Barndoor that is actually factory. So that being said............I won't even get into the shaved drip rail  |

Hell, for all I know that thing could have came from the factory as a panel. Does not appear as though maintaning originality was of his main concern.
Those wheels are outdated but I do not think "shaving" is outdated. It is just the Mini Truckin ideas catching on in the VW world.

Just curious, but what other "shit mods" are you reffering to? |

Well I guess if I have to explain them, well nevermind.

| The way it looks with the drip rails removed, I think if you put in a satin interior, it would look like some sort of "display" coffin. Whatever it started as, it finished UGLY. |

Yeah, that's what we ned, ideas from the pea brained, no class mini truckin' werld. Next we can copy ideas from the low riderz and then the ass end up in the air muscle car crowd, woo hoo, cutomizing is so kewl.
