| 03/07/05 | Nicolai Kiel | Dear Thalia,
sawat dii khrap! :-) Where did you meet the busses? I assume Bangkok near by the Khao San Road, or in Chiang Mai? Tschook dii khrap, Nicolai Kiel |
The bus is actually stock, only the 4X4 and headlight grills are added| Visitor Comments (Add your Comments) | ||

| 12/15/05 | DON 'The Emissary' SERIBUTRA | The bus pics are the T1.5s produced in Brasil between 1976-1996. Although the first generation T2s ceased production in Europe in 1967, the splittie continued in Brasil until 1975. When the 1976 model year came along, the first generation T1 was modified to which the front sheetmetal from the 1968-79 Bay Window was grafted on where a few refer to these Buses as mutants. |
I couldnt believe these are/ were this recent!| Visitor Comments (Add your Comments) | ||

| 04/23/06 | Andre Sampaio | Those photos are from the Kombi produced here in Brazil.
Due to polution emission level laws it's not produced anymore like in the photo. Since 2006 VW-Brazil changed to a water-cooled motor. |

| 03/12/05 | Alexis Prappas - Brazil | This "is" a Volkswagen water cooled engine built in brazil and used even today in the Gol car (Brazilian Golf) in gas version of course. The engine is a AP600 and it has a 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 cc version. |
| 02/24/05 | Dave | Thar engine is an Audi four, not a VW engine. It would have been nice if VW had manufactured the deisel version of their own aircooled engine!
The truck itself would make a great parts car for soneone's '71 double cab. |

| 10/12/05 | Tom | I have too agree on the paint,exellent job.
In my opinion:loose the wheels,they make your bus look like a rollerskate.I have stock 14"wheels on mine,but with 185-55-14 in te back and 165-50-14 down in front.At a fracktion of the cost of mag-wheels I get all the attention at meetings.No clearance problems eather when lowered... |
| 10/12/05 | Tom | Oh,I forgot:Real guys don't need bags or juice,just lower it ol'school... |
| 02/11/05 | VANdalism | Paint looks nice. I lowered my '73 with Bus Boy's adjustable front beam and albatross rear plates. Looks the business but rides like hell. I run Empi 5 spokes with 195/45/15 tires and Wolfgang adapters to make them fit. I had clearance problems under the rear fenders and had to stretch the flare a bit. Hope you don't run into the same problem with those meaty tires! |
Another one bites the dust...

| 12/28/04 | DON 'The Emissary' SERIBUTRA | Some of these were sold in Mexico and were usually driven into the Southwest U.S. by Mexican nationals. I have seen a few pics of the Brasilian bus which is a mutant of 1950s body panels with the Bay Window parts. |
