Thought you might like to see our last bus. It started life as Kombi ambulance. We pressed in the 8 skylight and 2 extra side windows. Had to reverse the rear door.

11/15/02 JAKE 420 Super Sweet!!!!!
11/09/02 Ronnie Laursen If modifications are done properly as in Julian Daltons and Dave Palmers buses i can only do one thing: APPLAUSE. The other way around, as in my bus, when the previous owner simply took a jigsaw and cut 8 "skylight" holes, then you can talk about "2 years later mod-regret". The job was done back in the 80, and now i must get the bus back in style. What would you do ? change the hole roof(its rustfree) weld some metal in the holes (does it flex) or try to modify the modification to something nice (skylights). The bus is a doubledoor standard from 65'. Almost rustfree as it comes from Norbotton, Sweden (rustfree area), but a callooker. Cheap offcourse, only 600$, due to the "roofjob".
(i know a picture would help)
Question: why is a modification done in the sixties so cool, when a fresh modifications
is making a lot "put their nose in the sky"

Greetings
Ronnie Copenhagen





11/09/02 thayer The only thing I see that would need to be changed on this bus are the wheels. While they look fantastic right now, wheels really date a vehicle.

just my thought..
11/09/02 Horice Thenethly You Muppet!! have you ever seen this bus in the flesh?
Nothing is going to change "two years down the road"
it will still be fantastic, and worth more than it is now!
11/09/02 Ayrton Sei un Grande
11/09/02 RALPH hi dave

i also own a 65'swiss army ambualnce and a roof of a samba. how did you reverse the rear door?

have a look at http://aircooled.mediateam.ch
11/08/02   Ronnie Laursen, do not attempt to destroy your bus as this bloke here has done already, believe me you will regret it two years down the road.
11/08/02 Ronnie Laursen Very nice, looks expensive ! Was it real skylight frames that were welded in the roof ? How did you solve the "roofflex" problem. Need the same job done on my bus, thats why i'm curious.
Greetings Ronnie, Copenhagen
11/08/02 cornish dragon Another great bus Dave !
Hopefully have the rest of the rear safaris
for happyvan off you soon
cd
11/08/02   Yeah its way better now, than it ever could have been as an ambulance. You brits got too much time on your hands.
11/07/02 Dave Palmer The wheels are American Racing 7x 17 Chrome Aeros. They are ford 5 stud. I made Billet Hubs for the front discs and rear drive flanges so they fitted without adaptors. It is tight! Our busmaster socks make it all work.
11/07/02 Dave I really need the space...anyone interested in this bus?
11/07/02 Daniel What type of wheels are those?
I want some for my van
11/07/02 Paolino incredible...you are crazy...i like your Little Bus...w VW!!!
11/07/02 Spengdog Just fantastic!

The pride of San Diego County. The "Roadster" took first place in the Barndoor Convertible Class and Josh's "El Ghiablo" took first in the "Bus with a Heavy Ghia Influence" Class. Enjoy your trophies gentlemen and tell those tourists to stop snapping photos!

Don't worry, this Bus started as a $7.31 investment. We traded a six pack of shitty beer for it and we made our vision a reality.

01/11/03 Conrad I almost did this to my bus when I was 16 - and glad I didn't. Although I would have been the most popular guy at school, I would have regretted it. BUT if I had a tree fall on my crew cab, I'd probably take care of it this way.
01/11/03 Conrad Hey, can you imagine when I was 16 I thought about doing this to my bus. Though I would have been the most popular guy in high school - I'm glad I didn't. But maybe this is the solution to that crew cab that had the tree fall on it.
01/09/03   I don't know what this thing was? It looks like it was a barndoor, but it doesn't have the 8 vents like a barndoor should. It is probably hacked together from many busses. If I owned it I wouldn't park it anywhere, It might get accidentaly towed to the wreckers
01/08/03 VanBondo Ah yeah, I had a gray one! Sa-weet =)
12/26/02   You should be destroyed.
11/18/02 jay king hey bren be carefull how you spend that 15 minutes of fame,,,Make it count Love J
