signed up on different site,recommended to this site, (maybe they didnt like me ) i am going to try to load photos.
i would like info on dropping the bus,re-powering, brake upgrade and where to get panels from ? i am not new to restoring cars but this is the first time with a dub.i love the stile of the splitty and am keen to learn as much as possible. i realize that changing a classic is not for everyone but being standard is not for me. thanks and hi.

think i mentioned this site along with another guy on avd , drop a bus will get varied responses , $$ is your decider and your ability with the tools n welder , a good site to check out is KCW and steeringbox scrapers , then how low , how steep is your driveway , passengers , go on type 2 selecta and have a bit of fun ... post in tech or just put a members rides thread up

yes you and matt.
my budjet is big,if the wife would open her hand bag.$15000 -$20000 on parts i have a full machine shop and joinery at my disposal jnc gilo & folder, good at fabrication,so its the products and knowlege i lack. from what i know so far willowood disks just which ones,drop 3 1/2inches .
i like to hook in to the projects so prefab stuff is what i would like.wheels offsets,stud patterns do i change . i dont want to paint other than under coat where panels have been welded.
its a 62 with a std engine,i would like it to hammer but be reliable, some talk about scubie motor.
all imput or parts would be great, would like to have panel work done and brakes in within 6wks
i will look at the other sites
thanks
thats doable if rust is the typical sills n jacking points n floor bits , deciding on suspention could take the most time , irs , straight axle , king n link beam with flipped spindles maybe narrowed , ball joint with drop spindles also narrowed , steering box raise ...it goes on
) i am going to try to load photos.
bus selecta is the goods.wow
