A two wheel tractor like this
It's incredible what people can do with too much time on their hands. Note the presence of a warning placard on the rear, and lack of a license plate. Many countries, including the US, allow tractors to be operated on public streets without registration and/or fees.

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.

but the real abortion to it is the sale ad...
[quote=ebay ad]Unique, never seen VW Bus!! Would be a killer project for the right person.
This VW Bus is considered by Welder Up in Las Vegas as a build shown on TV.
1. Client must own the base vehicle.
2. Client is responsible for the transportation of the vehicle to and from Welder Up in Las Vegas.
3. Client must be able to be available for the filming of the drop off and reveal of the build.
4. Budgets for season 3 were $75,000 to $150,000. We believe the production company will be looking for similar budgets for season 4.
5. Welder Up cannot guarantee that the production company will choose your build. The selection is entirely up to the production company.
6. The production company will be looking for builds that are different from the vehicles Steve has created in previous episodes. They also look for projects that have a history or unique story line.
7. We do not have a schedule at this time so we are unable to predict when the builds will be completed.
It is a roller, no engine. It has a VW transmission which needs work. The Body is in OK shape, needs some rust work and fabricating done.[/quote]
ill admit ive watched the show... but this thing.. no way... id talk to those diesal brothers show first and let then stick a cummins in it for a laugh.. cause it cannot be made cool in any manner.. it needs to retain the joke it is..
