OldTrucker Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Did this one just to save the old kit. Hinges got broke, one side door got lost so decided to make a custom. Helped build 2 1:1 VW Buses like this back years ago. They were really squirrley to drive too! Especially the one with the Porsche 6 on board!
mod3l Lover Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Very cool Johnny!! I love it! The taillights really work with that body too!
DumpyDan Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Looking good Johnny, nice save. I have one that needs to be saved also.
espo Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Great save on the body. I also remember when guys were cutting up the 1:1 Buses but few seemed this short.

That was what we discovered after doing them. The original plan was to remove just one side door and leave a back seat but the customer wanted both doors removed. Then the one the boss did (with the Porsche engine) for the shop he decided that it was easier to do the same because he didn't want a side door and it was more body work to weld the door up. In my opinion while cool looking it became an accident waiting to happen!
