Harry Houck
Karl von Salzen hit a car today, 4/27/04, after it cut in front of him. He was thrown out the driver's door and came to 5-10 minutes later. Bruises, bumps and a cut ear. He'll be OK, but the bus won't be on the road again.

06/18/05 Cornish Dragon I hope you are jesting there big boy !

Happy Van is coming on just fine MOT
next week then it is sun surf and babes !
06/16/05 herbert I can see that you live in a "first world" country where a little damage is the end. This damage is nothing, you would see our "3rd. world" body-thin repair shops!! they are magicians!!
03/20/05 Harry Houck It's back on the road. A body shop pulled it straight enough to drive. Driver's door doesn't fit, so it's been taken off. Karl's been driving it for 9 months.
05/28/04 thom Yowsa! That sucks! Hope you're ok Karl!
05/28/04 Mike Why won't it see the road again? Not worth fixing?

04/09/07 Josue Espinoza The bus it's mine now!!, and according to the chassis number you were right, it is 1957 build it between Feb-Mar 1957, so it is in pretty good shape accorging to the years that stayed in the same place, I think about 30 years, so I have a lot to do ahead to restore it.
Es mia ahora!!, Usted estaba en lo correcto, es un modelo 1957 construida entre Feb-Mar de 1957, parece que a pesar de los aos, creo que 30, la carroceria esta en buenas condiciones, asi que tengo mucho por hacer para restaurarla.
04/16/04 mike I will guess 57.

My VW yard webpage
Here is a bus that used to belong to my uncle, and sat in our yard forever.. I hacked it to bits with an axe, and after removing the roof and the nose, folded up the rest like a chinese food container. What fun!

When you don't have a good place to stop your Bus, maybe you can put it under other cars. You also have the benefit of being better rain protected, and sure you get the car away from being sacratched from passing people. The problem is: how can I take it out again?... Maybe never... (Of course the car is in a scrapyard, and never see the road again. It is in a Police department, and is going to be melted for the steel. By the license plate, is from 1967/1968)

06/26/04 Peter Cruel thing, but one of the first 5000 VW-Busses from 1950!
06/20/04 BoxcarSlim This is AWESOME! BEAUTY! A OBJECT worthy of ADULATION! Those other 3 "pin-heads" who expressed Disdain & Scorn are NOT WORTHY to OWN a GREAT MARVEL of GERMAN ENGINEERING! Ye of little faith, BUY A TOYOTO! I own a 1972 Westie that RUN BAD, SHIFTED ONLY OCCASIONLY, SPUTTERED & DIED in TRAFFIC, yet STILL RAN, and after a INVESTMENT in the IDIOT'S BOOK, has BEEN MY HOME since Jan. 1, 2002, & has been FROM LAS VEGAS to EL PASO, YUMA, AZ to BRANSON, MO. & with a MINIMUM of WORK, a MAXIMUM of SCREAMING, CUSSING & INVECTIVE..."She," is STILL RUNNING & Getting GREAT MPG. I WISH I HAD a RACK on top like THIS ONE!!! One in the CATALOGUES built for mine COSTS TWICE what I PAID for "Her!" ($500.00!!!!!!!!!!!) I see a LOVELY LADY in these pictures, needing a Hair-do & a bath! You Effite Boosh-Wah Goyim see "UGLY>" You DESERVE UGLY! Buy yourself a CHEROOKEE ATV! A CADDILACK PLASTIC BROUGH-HAM! Get a LIFE! Ha, Ha, Ha! I only JEST! But I DO SEE BEAUTY!

Every winter this "bus" is parked along the I-10 Highway. After some religious and political dictation, the owner allowed me to snap some shots. Check out the detail on the back.

12/11/04 Becca I'd just like to know what it is with u guys and ur big thing with making sure everyone knows that ur 'only 14'. Apparently that's like oh so totally amazing and we're supposed 2 drop everything and praise u 4 ur 'fab' bus selecta pics....get over it! I'm a 14 y/o chick, do u see me adding little bits like, 'ohhh I'm a little innocent girl, everyone please be nice to me!!' cuz that's what the hell ur doing! Maybe if u could spell words correctly we'd give u a bit of that "recpect" (?wha?) ur looking for. And I quote u - "im only 14 so dont swear
"....if u reckon ur too young 2 be hearing the stuff on this site, don't come back & keep pissing them off. And surely, at 14 u've definetly got ur own little thesurus of curses, what 14 y/o doesn't?
10/23/04 aid shut up billy get those pics of the web. make yor own web site, i prefer to see real buses not fake ones. save up for a real vw like i have ( eight years ive waited but now i have a 1978 moonraker although i cant drive untill next year!)

A Sad Day for an Old Westi A Sad Day for an Old Westi
Karl Orteza
My daughter saw this Westi on her way to school one morning, she was so excited to tell me about it, knowing that I love the Vintage Beetles and Bus. I picked her up this afternoon and asked her to show me where it was, I was very enthusiastic about it, I had great ideas on my mind on how to build the old westi and bring it back to life, since she described it to have the old split window. I was driving very slow so as not to miss the location to where she saw it. When i saw it from afar it was wasn't as bad, I stepped down on my car to have a closer look. I froze the moment i saw it, there infront of me was this rundown old canary yellow vintage bus, I couldn't help but felt sorry for this Westi, I was angry to myself to have not seen it years before when it was up and running, coz i use to ride down this road on my bike. It was really a heartbreaker. How could someone be that insensitive and leave it there to rot? I only took one quick shot of the now hopeless Westi for my heart was feeling a lot of loss... Is there any way i can bring this back to life? I guess only a miracle can help me now... :( By the way, I'm from off-shore Manila...

02/27/04 Spengdog Nothing's impossible, but..... How much time and/or money do you have spare. You're right, it deserves restoration, you're a braver man than I if you take that on. Good luck, may the force be with you!
