That's about the nicest, "mintiest", VW bus I've ever seen. :wow:


And you gave it its "pop" back, great work in & out ! :dblthumb2:

I thought the vintage 911 was cool. Wow, keep the the classics coming.

Great work as usual. Love the color combo.
 
Thanks all!!!

Rambler: It was in really good mechanical and body panel shape!

Tom: I've been busy amigo!!

Klasse: No, I think that honor goes to the 1961 Ferrari 250 I did.

LE: That 930 Turbo still holds a place close to my heart, but this was cool!!

Nice work as always... Sizzle !!!!

The girlfriend was just telling last week on how much she like to have one of these... My immediately response was " Yeah !!! you have no idea how much ($$$$$$)"
 
That's pretty damn cool, Scottie.

I kept waiting for some dirty Hippies to jump out. ;)
 
Thanks everyone!!


LOL Paulie! It needs a mannequin in there! Haha


Mrs. Sizzle wants that bus too! She fell in love with it!
 
Very Nice!!!

I worked as a painter in a VW dealership body shop in the 1970's. VW's had great alkyd enamel paint back in those days.
 
Excellent work on a very cool ride! But remind Mrs. Sizzle that this mega-powered beast will not work well off the sand bar.
