high mode going up Sydney and Low mode at the show if possible, easier on the road ... nice one, saw your lobus @ Vic Jamboree! Excellent, hope you have great fun up NSW Nats 😀

lobus ·

No worries ikube..that is me plan..go up in the notsolobus and got to the show in veryfuckinlobus...on the way home...well we will see what happens..I saw you at the jammbouree I think in the gold beetle with the flush taillights...I don't know if you could get any more of your mates on board, looks like you were convering a few more people to the world of lo dubs...way to go..

ikube ·

Yup, thats me @ the Jamboree! I felt extremely tired that night right after the show, had to be extremely careful when driving, my baby bug is sitting very low already, and also packed full inside ... really have to watch out for rough surface on the road...
plz, bring lobus as low as you can at the show, make everyone curious to come and have a peek at this fine peice! 😀

Cheers~!

Isn't cruizin' more fun without worrying about the shocking state of Australian Roads and potential damage to your baby?

It's not like you get free blow jobs with a low bus!

Sorry to be an ignorant pig! Just not a lo fan!

lobus ·

Well I gotta hand it to the bloke who owns this..Adam I think his name is..He's done all the work himself too. Holden V6 in the back as well..Is low...Is Gooood..

lobus ·

The short answer to you question is....NO..

Once this stupid trend of lowering buses to the ridiculous levels seen above , some-ones gonna have to fix all the destroyed panels /sills etc. also the destroyed running gear /cracks etc. where is the RTA when you need em....

BenettonVW ·

Yeah, you'll get over that mate.. See you in ya Baja..
Mate, everyone has tastes, and yours are different to ours.. Is that wrong? Or is it just DIFFERENT? Narrow minded..

Back to reality..

Dave, that looks to be one of my top five rides of the Nats.. Is it on airbags or hydros? Dunno about the hole in the front..

byronbus ·

Sweet, I loved that Kombi, in my top 5 as well...
Go as low as you can, who cares if you need to do some extra welding when things break, its only a car, not like it cant be fixed or replaced.

I was pulled up by the police on the way home from the nats, he loved the yoot, suggested it could even go lower, he just wanted the number plate on the bumper, i told him i'd get right onto it...😉

byronbus ·

Why do people keep bagging other people's rides, its you'res to do what you want with...

Ive got a 1954 oval, 1 owner, all original and complete. Im about to cut a rag top into it, drop it on its guts and stick some empi 5s on it.

Not really, but who cares!!!

warb ·

bags, and only the front was done...

mscabrio ·

GO LOWER !!!!!!!!

Soon you will be so low that you will feel like you are sitting in a go kart !

😉

Adam is a mate of mine the guy who owns the primered bus. The hole in the front is an air way for the radiator which is located under the front seats. The front has a CBB adjustable front beam with drop spindles, and the front guards have been tubbed. The sills have been extended all round has a pulsar steering column. The rear, adjustable spring plates with rear drop plates. Custom rear tail lights. 3.8L V6 with big $$$ 2L box the works. It is also running a bus air conditioner. When this baby is finished it will be one sweet bus.
Thanks

I think that LOBUS is one very cool bus with one very cool owner ! Only problem is that all that Bling Bling is very blinding in the early morning sun !

:thumb 😎

XXX-1.8T ·

That bus flies and looks hot!

I raced him at the drags - beat me off the line but i piped him at the end:party

Top bloke but:beer

mscabrio ·

Are we talking about the same lobus ?????? If so then it must have been on steriods at the drags !!!!!!

:alien

Kruizin_76 ·

as ive said before you have a great bus!!!!!!!!!
i believe the lower the better.............................
even if you have to modify the panels to hang more over the guards than stock ie. lowestbus pic 😎

The wheels man the wheels......
All you need now are the wheels!
Awesome ride.
Had a good look at the jamboree.
What have you done to the front?
Adjusters? Spindles? I wanna get my
69 bus down at the front but don't
want a kidney killing ride.
Sad how some feel the need to bag.....
If you don't like it buy it off him and "fix" it
or shut up and bugger off.... Each to their
own.

To Johnny;
Everyone has the right to customize their vehicle as they see fit. If it's illegal, then I have a problem. However, if done right, the vehicle can be "stoopid low" and be safe. Ever heard of channeling?

To red bus;
The bus looks fantastic, but 62deluxe is right. You need some decent wheels or at least white walls and moon discs.

Don't drive it too low on the highway, you'll look good but hate yourself when you scrape something or shake yourself to death.🙂

Keep it cool man :party

BUS 23Q ·

that primed bus is my one.. never knew you guys would like it. just thought i would let u guys know it goes lower. i hav the wrong shocks in it they are too long and bottom out. at the moment i m getting all the bugs out of it and it should be coming back lower, faster and also with some paint.... and to the dude that baged my bus, it rides beautifully at driving height, everything that would hit the ground has been modified.eg engine lifted

XXX-1.8T ·

remember me i was the guy in the white audi 🙂

U going to Valla man ?

Sweet ride man, ill have my blue bug slammed for Valla 🙂

BUS 23Q ·

o yea, how yag goin
na mate to be honest i have never herd of valla?
where is it and when..i m makein my car a little faster at the momet and wont be on the raod for a while.

lobus ·

Valla is a little town near coffs harbour...There is a big VW show happening there over the last weekend in July..It is probably bigger than the Nats...
Maybe you can get your so lobus going for it..if not just catch any bus there and camp out; you won't regret it...alyhough your liver may disagree.

Dunno about that, I think there is some sort of circuit race, I didn't get to it last year, I was too busy checkin out the cars in the main street and then the caravan park.
