Ok, well its my birthday on may 4th, so my parents and friends got me a bus because i have always wanted one. i wanted a project so i can work on it with my dad, and so i got one.

here are the facts

-it is a split window

-it is a 1957

-its very rusty

-needs front ALOT of parts

-its awsome

-its mine

here are the pics











the colors are palm green(top) sand green(boddom)

i plan to repaint it its orignal colors (palm green, sand green)

i dont really have much info because i have just had a brief look at it

i will post more pics of it when i have them

im so jealous

ive always wanted a kombi... or more a beetle, in this sorta condition so i can fix it up for in time when i get my license.

pics sayin "hai PCA" or gtfo

and I feel sorry for that if it used to be green... lol

How the hell does it go from green to white?

or was it green and white?

its a vw who knows what can happen

nah, it's his
a lot of detail match the story
i would love to get something like thos on my bday, but meh, how can i tell my parrents: mom, dad for my birthday i want a rusty car with no engine, doors or interior.
mom would be like: dear, call the dector, we have an emergency
dad would be like: ok, but only if u let me drive it
i would be like:
lol
sorry for the offtopic

looks strong just need alot of body work on it and interior. front looks quite strong cus normally you have to replace the front end but it might just need some touch ups. how much was it, my guess is about 4-5k (british pounds) maybe seen as a restored one is about 13-20k(british pounds) lol

the colors are palm green(top) sand green(boddom)
well, it looked like this origonally





and stingster, one of our friends bought it so he could get parts off of it, then he gave it to another one of our friends, and he diddent need it, and he dosent have the room in his garage to fit all his cars plus that one. so he gave it to me.

jesus christ thats rusty. sweet score though. ide love to own one and make it lay frame

also you spelt bottom wrong. and you spelt wagon wrong in your sig aswell

volksWAGEN

Get it runnin, bolt a park bench in the front, put some lights in it, slam it BAM your a cult hero

Honestly though happy birthday and congrats, I wish I had the space/time/money/drive to find and build one of these (Canada is tough on VW's)

Keep us updated.... PLEASE!

paint it yellow and red and blue and write bryce on the side to prove that you own it.

Why The f*** yellow?
U are really weird.

bottom white and do the top candy apple red

it is an old model, you can see that on the rests of the front blinker

no, i'd say black on top, grey on bottom. i think that was a stock option before, ive seen a few like that.

to be honest mate, find an old Subaru Legacy engine, even the 2.0 NA flat four'll do, link it to the rear wheels, cut the leaves and have it near-scraping. sort out the windows, fit a close-ratio rack and pinion, sort out some disks up front, and put on some lights. little bit of rust repair on the chassis rails and engine mounts, should make a fun little cult wagon. f*** paint, bare steel, primer and filler ftw.

then i will be the fastest rolling pos!
paint that mug get it allll originall!

no, it'd be putting out about 100bhp.....

but it would look like a pice of poo but be fast

Very cool, its pretty cool, I'd paint it the original color, then maybe give it a cool decal later on. :I but yeah, PUT A FASSSSSSST ENGINE, lamborghini reventon

Lol,

What about a porsche engine? Don't people put those in em?

And then have like a waterbed in the back with shag carpets and stuff

I agree with Ed, I would get the electrical, floors, suspension, brakes, and engine sorted and just leave the rest be, maybe fix the glass to get the bugs otuta your teeth


So you wanna be a cult super star, and rust cars, with low pros, ya scrape bars you in charge, air'in up the bags, drive slow got no po-po pullin ya over for flyin far


Lame attempt at a rap!

Instead of using a transplanted engine, how abouts use a old 1600 or even a 2000 if you could get a good one, keep it all original, ya' know?

EXACTLY!

And thanks for all the comments, i am defanatly gonna keep you posted.

im gonna keep it mostly stock, but i want it to be lowerd but my dad wont let me slam it, so im just gonna lower it about 2 or 3 inches

ggget VELVET curtains

yah unfortunally, it riuens the engine compartment

i will get new pics next weekend

srry for doubble post

put it on "Pimp my Ride", it looks perfect

I think the stock colors look sexy as hell, and I must be weird, but I kinda like my cars shiny (my Firebird is the exception )


And that's what, more than double the stock power?

almost quadriple

if im right, the 57 kombis had the 1300 and 1600, 1300 being about 25 hp, 1600 being roughly 30hp.... competing with veyrons that is

I have a 1600 Fuelie out of a Beetle up here if you wanna come get it lol

Bottom part Black
Top Part Grey
Maybe the roof white
red pinstripe between the grey and black

I WANT the PADDY WAGGEN V2.0

yah, me to radu, but i am just gonna repaint it its orignal colors

lol, are you restoring?

if you are, than lets have a battle.

we will se who compleats there car first

youll probaly win because your bug is a super, and mine is a 57, so your parts are eazy to find and your way older so you probaly have a job, so you probaly have more monney than me.

also mine is in worse condition

but i have a good advantage, my dads shop.

they get discounts on sertan kinds of parts.

and my dad and his friends are specialists

and the have the right tools and equipment to do the job.

I have a shop/machine shop/body shop at my disposal and $100,000 in snap-on tools at my fingertips

the advantage you have is you have a shell, I haev an engine.. LOL I lost my beetle in a legal matter so I only have the engine (and about $17 canadian to my name lol)

HOWEVER I met a man through that legal battel today who has over 100 Kombi's Westies Dokas T3 Synchros and the like ONTOP of his Beetle, Puma, Karman Giha and Thing collectons so I may be grabbing some vehicles off him (hes in a land battle and will lose alot of his collection soon)

Maybe we can have a restore off

If somebody can fund me a car ill join in!

and im guessing he can spell too

lollolll

Really nice kombi!! I like so much!! But he need some work!

do you have pics???

well yah, lets have a restore off. it will probaly take me like 3 years but oh well

dude with the hair looks exactly like me.

good luck witht he restoration

That is a lot of f****ing rust

wow, lol

I gotta take a trip to his barn 4 hours up north to get the pics (he should take me soon) he has some other neat cars I'm lookin at though, like his Lada Nivia Pickup and a Citroen Panel Van

If I have my way our battle won't be fair (your bus is in MUCH worse condition then the one he showed me pics of that I want) but when I do eventually buy the ones that I want off him I'll group them together so it's fair

Mostly I want his 79 Scirocco for a DD cause the Supra is too much on insurace ha ha

Kinda like mine too except my hair is longer and doesn't resemble a parachute unless it's windy.


Nice car by the way mate. Good to see someone with taste.

Bag that hoe to the ground.

yah, dats me (bad hair day)

i have just started, i need a list ( wich i am starting tomarow) of parts i need for the bus and how mutch thay are so i can buy the parts at my dads show

look!!!

BEFORE:



AFTER I AM DONE RESTORING ACCEPT IT IS GOING TO BE LOWERD ABOUT 2 INCHES:
