| 06/28/02 | HOBBYJIM | Kind of cool.That was done a lot in the late 60's early 70's, would look a lot better with a paint job. |
| 06/28/02 | Real Chuck | I at least would have wrote something funny, take some time and you may be funny someday, other than your appearance, and your love for young boys. |
| 06/27/02 | Chuck | Ohhhhhhhh I must have it. It makes me feel warm all over. I'm touching myself with one hand and typing with the other. If only I had an 11 year old boy with me right now. |

| 07/17/02 | Andy Wood | Marc,is that actually going into a bus or did you simply upload it to stir up the purists around here? :-)
I'd love to see the bus it is going into if that's the intention. |

| 04/08/04 | Jim | Well that engine's had a bit of a tweek over the winter, and now has a new pair of bigger heads with more porting, a chargecooler, EFI & EMS. Boost presure will also be higher this year as well, so should make even more power than before. Should be interesting on the strip. Oh, and a new race strength gearbox to match the dyno output. |
| 09/23/02 | chels | hey there just wanting to know some more about the turbo set up, im relatively new to the vw world and im not a vw purist so tell us more about it cos i want to try and do somthing similar with the kombi i got recently, much appreciated from chels in oz |

| 08/31/04 | busded | Oh my god dude you didn't restore it to look excatly like it originally was? You're in trouble with the vintage police now!! Damn you for being unique and doing the custom thing! |
| 08/23/04 | moses | totally sick!!! I love it WAY TO GO!!!!! |
| 09/11/03 | Brian H | Trov, YOUR THERE!!!!
Scallops rule, You do them???? Don't stop. Brian |

| 08/19/02 | turtle cali | haha haha |
| 08/19/02 | MARTIN | SOMEONE WENT OVER BOARD DIDENT THEY |
| 08/18/02 | Krie Havok | rofl, that bus IS cool. the coolest things in existance are the things that belong to people who do what THEY like. Although the gratuitous use of slang is somewhat tiresome :) |
| 08/17/02 | turtle cali | plain and simple your shit color bus SUCKS! |
| 08/14/02 | psycho bill | did you let marshall mathers write your description? |
| 08/14/02 | Marcel Moreno | I'm from Brazil...
I wanna buy your kombi, I can pay... I need you kombi.... bye... |
| 08/03/02 | spengdog | Hey nameless, you kinda miss the point. First, it's Trov's bus, his money's in it, so of course he can do with it exactly what he pleases. Second, everybody has different likes, dislikes, etc. Third, if you paste a picture on a chat forum with an 'ADD COMMENTS' link, what the fuck do you expect? I don't see the originator whining, and finally, at least the 'candy asses' have the balls to put their names to their comments. |
| 08/03/02 | dude, i love the bus, and all you other idiots if you don't like it just fucking shutup it's not like it's your bus and even if it was you should do something about it instead of just complaining you bunch of candy asses! | |
| 07/30/02 | Jesse | Your bus is truly cool. Is that hibiscus on the roof I see? Some very nice touches. I am a kombi fan from Australia, if any of you have some cool pics or kombi tales please email me. Peace to all drivers of the bus!
|
| 07/18/02 | Satan | The bus sucks. End of story. |
| 07/18/02 | Jesus | Gosh Dad, When I grow up, can I be a homophobic too, just like you? |
| 07/18/02 | God | Spengdog - you are a homo.
That is all |
| 07/16/02 | Chris | This bus is amazing. It is truely truely original and really refreshing to see. I would love to see more pics of it!! |
| 07/16/02 | jarrod | yo bus is the real shit be a playa and give it to me for free |
| 07/04/02 | spengdog | Ganjafarmer, you obviously smoked too much of your own produce if you want to use the word originality in the same sentence as this bus. However, I agree it's no joke, that's because you are plain unfunny! 'dental work and cooking skills?' Doh! Go play trivial pursuit with Homer! |
| 07/03/02 | ganjafarmer | Your bus is phat and original, don't listen to spengdog, you know those wankers, they have about is good taste in originality as they have in dental work or as they are good cooks, and thats no joke. |
| 06/25/02 | Spengdog | Mate, your bus is truly horrible, an affront to normal peoples sensibilities. Is it just a coincidence that you painted it shit brown? |
| 06/13/02 | heterophobe | "It's also got Harley Davidson rear tailights" - pics??? |
| 06/11/02 | Rikki James | Top bus Dude. |
| 06/10/02 | Mr. Gordon's 6th period class | that is a hot piece of work. Wanna sell it? Please. |

| 06/03/02 | This is too much customizing, if he wanted a one piece front window he should've bought a bay window | |
| 05/31/02 | Mike | I was wondering if anyone thought that this was a good custom. Or do even custom fans think this is too much, I mean, where did the middle post of the windshiled go?? |

| 08/14/02 | tbonz | Hey bellypans don't add strengtyh...they coserve it! you put that pan on your belly so you don't have to pick up the flying chips or have to jump up all of a sudden when you drop your roach! |
| 08/09/02 | Chris | This past weekend I went to the Vacationland VW show in Windsor Maine and just after I pulled out of the parking lot at the end of the show I pulled over on the side of the road to find a map. Three Volkswagens full of people pulled over pretty much one after another to make sure everything was OK with my bus thinking I had pulled over to deal with engine toubles or something. On the drive home I was thinking that these peoples actions really summed up the Volkswagen Subculture which seems to be built on friendship but most importantly a full and unbridled love of Volkswagnes. I think a lot of the people that post on this site are hostile and critical and I think they should remember that it takes more then just owning a Volkswagen to be part of the Volkswagen Subculture. You may own a 1952 23-window deluxe but if you are an asshole you are as much a member of the Volkswagen Subculture as a nice Eurovan owner. |
| 08/08/02 | nate | good on you julian, i am the PROUD owner of a 79 brazilian kombi and im sick to death of hearing people slag them off. i've always owned beetles and i am going to start another one very soon but i love my van, i mean how many other types of vehicles can you throw a 9 foot surfboard in the back of, rock up at the beach and get checked out by all the blondes!? |
| 07/26/02 | tony hughes | hey good effort jules,the bus is looking cool,i will be up for sharing the fuel bill on a trip soon.JESUS there are a lot of het up nob heads that log on to this site, just for the oppertunity to slag somebody off,obviously not everybody you see driving a vw is cool.fucking nerds |
| 07/25/02 | omie | what ever happened to the free spirited passion behind these wonderful vintage vehicles, why does everyone have to be so aggro and competetive? |
| 05/23/02 | Paula | I am also looking for some cool interiors as mine is kinda blah...
It also has no pop top but has a large "sun roof" I would like a pop addition.... I know I need some work but Ill get the lingo someday!! |
| 05/23/02 | Paula | I am soooooo new to the VW world... Like 3 days new!! I have no idea what make my bus is... All I know about it is that it is a 78....
Is there anyone on this cool sight who can help me???? |
| 05/23/02 | Jack | What are you all fighting about, be happy, I would die for one of these things. |
| 05/22/02 | Ronnie | Julian you got a super bus, especially after that roof conversion. I'm searching for a samba roof too, do you know any for sale en sweden ?(live in Denmark. I'm not a "welder-nerd" too, but i have a 65' double door standard with no belly pans, and they have never been there!. The bus doesn't flex, but when i get a samba roof in, i must do something about it, but not belly-pans..oh no not in this wet country. Best regards Ronnie |
| 05/22/02 | David | You chill Cain before I give you a Kung Fu chop! If Limey Julie Ann can't stand the free expression of opinions he should stay on the porch... |
| 05/22/02 | shaolinbuddha | Jesus, you lot are such a bunch of girls....
CHILL OUT. |
| 05/21/02 | Jimmy | Julian, don't cross the pond for a stateside event, just a reminder. |
| 05/21/02 | Mike | Julian, I was simply telling you something that you needed to know to at least make the bus structurally correct, you took it offensively. |
| 05/21/02 | Dando Fredo | Bravo!! Julian Dalton
Dando could not agree more.........Guys like "Pop Rivet" & "Chuck" do not belong in the VW Community. |
| 05/21/02 | Julian Dalton | No I am not. The van is being professionally welded.
This site is obviously not for FRIENDLY discussion and advice but created for Pedantic enthusiasts to throw insults at those they consider unworthy of ownership. I loathe intellectual snobbery of this type REALLY sorry I bothered uploading. By the way folks at British shows do not harass and laugh at other owners it a really friendly HELPFUL family scene.Remind me not to cross the pond for one of your events |
| 05/20/02 | Pop Rivet | Julian you are a bone head.
First off VW never 'tack welded' anything. You are probably refering to spot welds. Now you also probably do not know that 99.99% of all welds on ALL vws, none the less ALL vehicles manufactured to this day are SPOT WELDED! Aparently you have little if no experience with welding. As if you did you would know that those belly pans spot welded in create an EXTREMELY amount of rigidity to the bus. Yes, the belly pans are there for strength. These were used on any VW van that had structural design weakness...such as All sunroof buses, all double door buses and one most folks miss...all Westfalia built dormobile buses. Put em on your bus or get ready for PLENTY of laughs and harassment at all the VW shows you draf you beast too. And be prepared for rejection when you try to sell her. |
| 05/20/02 | Thom | If it was for road noise and heating, then why does my double-door panel have them?
Grab an enginering book and look up "moment" |
| 05/20/02 | julian | Seen no literature on belly pans?? But seems that they were only tacked in. Hardly a structural thing? Possibly more for insulation. Road noise & heating on the deluxe Microbus perhaps. |
| 05/20/02 | Thom | I'd put a sunroof section in my '56 kombi. It flexed horribly going over bumbs, even the curb going into my driveway.
Do it right - get a set of repro belly pans and weld them in. No sense in half-assing it. |
| 05/20/02 | And thats because you are smarter than the designers at Volkswagen. Gooooood luck!! | |
| 05/19/02 | julian | Do not believe the pans are important for strenth
& they only hide the crud at the end of the day. If we thought for a second she needed it we would have already done it. I want this bus to outlive me |
| 05/18/02 | Tony | Bus lesson plan, all buses that came with sunroofs from the factory, came with belly pans to support it. |
| 05/17/02 | your wrong mike | |
| 05/16/02 | Mike | Oh? OK then. |
| 05/15/02 | Belly pans aren't used to support a bus | |
| 05/14/02 | Mike | If it is too late to hope that you really didnt do that, at least put in the belly pans to support it. |
