Pro Street VW

[arick]

I thought you guys might be interested in this, if for no other reason than its "different".

One of the members over at scalemotorcars.com is producing this VW bus in 8th scale. It comes with lots of extras, and its being produced in Germany, as it should be. I was talking to a guy in Australia who has or is going to purchase one of these bodies with the intention of going wild with it. I just happened to have a couple of photo's that I've had in a file for a couple of years so I sent them to him.

If this guy decides to build something similar, I'll make sure he keeps us informed.

It was featured in Hot Rod magazine a few years ago, too:

IIRC, they drove the van to Bonneville, made a few passes, and drove it home.

Yup, thats the one. I can't wait for someone to build it. What a great project!!

[David G.]

The chopped top makes it look like a machine gun bunker.

[Mr.1/16th]

can't wait to see it finished!!

[Harry P.]

Is it a full-blown kit or just a body shell?

[arick]

I believe its a body, seats, dash and a couple of other bits and pieces Harry. No chassis though.

Hi

I think you might be taking about me,

A bit of introduction,Im from Australia been building models since i was about 10,(just turned 5^)and have been building 1/8 scale for the last 4 years or so

I have just paid for the VW today so depending on how good the mail service from Germany is will depend on when i get the body.

Yes it will be different,not your typical street machine

This build is so Cool!!! I can't wait to see the progress on this one. I like the fact that it is something totally different.
