ClassicVW(pacific) ·

dragbug ·

Needs a right good slamming........

Hey Roy
Ya should come down for one of our vintage club meets! Next sunday we are at greenmount hill. 8am QLD time.
Rob...😎

ClassicVW(pacific) ·

I might just do that, will that be ok

dragbug ·

I know where you can get some great Safari's for it........

57kombi ·

Whats going on here, people posting pics of 50's buses and mine not being one of them,
You know Roy.
I have to have the most pics of my bus on this site.

Yet another excuse to post a pic. only joking

Also I think it needs some deluxe trim.
I know where you can get some cheap.

Cheers
Dave

Zimblewinder ·

Cant agree there. Keep it just like it is! No safaris, no delux trim, standard height. PEOPLE look past calling for the fads and see the timelessness-ness of a great original restoration. Thats exactly how it is meant to be! Sweet restoration congratulations. I hope my 58 scratches up as well. Cheers

So this lowering business is a fad is it, I was under the impression people had been lowering Vee Dubs since the early 70`s.
Slam the fuck outa it.

ClassicVW(pacific) ·

No old hen in the back window of mine

Zimblewinder ·

I just said the above cos Im tired of all you guys calling for anything with four wheels to be slammed to be "cool". It would be so much better if for once you could say... "that's a great restoration", "dont OG height busses look cool", "wish my bus looked as good" etc etc. Im not saying slammed busses aren't cool. Just show some respect for a fantastic resto instead.

By the way... unmolested busses are a rarity. No safaris, no lowering, og wheels are way cool and they express more individuality than the countless lowered, empi 5'd, safari'd busses.

As for lowering not being a fad... Busses have been around a long time before the 70's kids.

t2 ·

i havent seen many slammed buses running empi 5 rims and safaris around in aus
i guess people like what they like and all the different options that people can or cant do is what makes the whole vw scence that much better
i like accesories lots of them

The point I was making about your comments on the "Lowering Fad" is that VW`s have been being "customised" including being lowered since the 70`s, maybe even earlier.
I think 30 years is a long time for a "Fad".
I wasn`t born until `76 (cool year hey, someone had a great idea of painting that number in bright blue on an orange ping pong ball an sticking it on thier antenna!), I didn`t lower my first VeeDub until 1994 just after I passed my driving test.
I appreciate all Types and styles of VW`s too, I am not biased towards lowering, I just think it gives a car much more attitude and couldntgiveafukness.

57kombi ·

So.
Its a low one your after is it.

Cheers
Dave

57kombi ·

I think I will need to get some more pics, I am using old ones without the deluxe trim.
Great trim , made from geletine, looks like polished ally but melts at temps above 25 degrees, thats why its good for England.
Cheers
Dave

Cheers
Dave

ClassicVW(pacific) ·

whats he going to do make a panel van with the corrugated sheets
Good project though, I might have a few parts for that one.
Gives you some ideas for yours eh!!!

frog ·

Are the interior jailbars running a single tube along past the rear windows to the front a normal thing for 23's,I don't think I've ever seen this before?.
Any close up shots of this I would like to see please if possible.

Zimblewinder ·

A PO had curtains up and was using an extra jail bar top and bottom for the job and long ones for the drivers side. Gave me lots of alloy ends and supports to choose from once I polished em all up. Would be a nice way to put curtains in but its not stock. Had me asking too at first. It was a nice job.... Anyone want some ends or loops there are plenty here for the asking. Cheers

57kombi ·
