| 12/22/02 | Alexk | LOL..."welfare drop". Too funny. |
| 12/21/02 | Plus with smaller tires you get a slower top end. | |
| 12/20/02 | Thom | Actually, a stock-height bus, with proper tires, can keep up with traffic better than a bus with a welfare drop that has to stop for every pothole. |
| 12/20/02 | nah, raise it back to stock, who wants to be able to keep up with traffic anyways? | |
| 11/27/02 | Thom | Guys, raising the bus to stock height is just the beginning of the restoration! Over the winter I'll be re-doing the floors, fixing the hack in the dash, the seat bulkhead, re-doing the outer bodywork, and new paint. I'll probably add safaris as well. |
| 11/27/02 | KruKab | Raising the back?You call that a resto??
Look at the www.vwbusclub.nl. Check out the resto a friend off mine is doing on his 1966 combi! That is what I call a resto!! |
| 11/26/02 | Tom Mink | Yuck! Good call, Thom - raise it back up where it belongs!! |
| 11/26/02 | Spengdog | Yeah, leave it low! It looks fit! |
| 11/26/02 | Rikki James | Your not wrong! |
| 11/25/02 | Bus homie | Aw dawg dat ride is bitchin as it is. bling bling |
