My first VW bus took possesion of me on May 9th, 2003. These are pictures I took the other night while staying up until 5 in the morning rebuilding the front wheel cylinders and pulling the interior out of the front of it in preparation for fixing the rust. Wish me luck. This is my first restore. I am so excited.

I bought this converted bus recently. It has had a long history cruising around Australia. It is known here as the "59 triple cab". It needs some rust work, replacement windows and a whole new interior. It has had an IRS conversion and disk brake front end.

06/29/03 BigStew I've got a '66 just like it I've been, aahh, 'restoring ' for the last 25 years. In other words, it's been garaged the last 20. The interior looks to be Sundial and the roof is identical to yours. Sundial did this as an option on some models but I ain't seen any others but mine and yours. Not even in my many junkyard visits. Good luck with this one.
06/13/03 Lill' Mona I recal my ex-boyfriend's similiar van. He drove it through Mexico one year. After putting several hundred dollars into repairs. Sort of what is required for this one. Due to its innept apparatus(the Chassis had more rust on it than a ball park weenie) and undersensitive steering to. It was a 67'. So,after Bernard arrived home to Whistler he had many a story to tell. He met a welder named Weldon from Winnipeg. They worked on the passenger side seats and the doors. Sadly,the van was impounded on Mayne island after it crashed into the Spring Water Inn. The owner was irate and unclothed. He pressed charges and Bernard is the 'Prag' in Kent. I hope your time is better spent.
06/03/03 Stewart This is a classic fixer-Upper jobby. Yes,indeed. Bearded lunatics and fuzzy thinkers alike can rejoice and raise a glass of whiskey over this vintage vehicle. Folks may chuckle and pull a jive ass manouvre...with words of disdain and clever forms of regional phrasiology. Vana-Hollics and dweebs can take a windex bath over the costs as well. Plucking your beard with tweasers is less affective than good old elbow grease. A little birdie told me that the new owner is without a job but really relishes the time he has with ole 'Wanda.'

I bought this bus in early May for $600. Mechanically sound but needs a lot of body work as well as jack supports and outriggers. I'm thinking of getting rid of the raised roof.

03/04/04 Gillboy! Arran, i'd have paid the money dude! I nearly bought one in England 4 1800 which is about $3,400 so it aint bad mate. $600 is about 340 and i'd have definately paid that!! Good look mate.
06/13/03 arran Yep time to dust off the cougar photos. Luckily I do have a friend who knows how to weld. It's coming along slowly but surely. Does anyone have info on the raised roof???
06/06/03 ED Honestly, $600 seems abot $500 to much. But I'm from the N.E. and have seen some rough rides revived. This on the other hand looks pretty bad. Hope you have alot of time, money, and friends who know how to weld. Good luck and hey, the last thing you need to worry about right now is the raised top! Get to work!
06/02/03 Disco Dunn Bearded, my good friend Arran is currently putting his heart and soul into restoring this vehicle. It was not bought for the purpose of cheating on his lady. He is the salt of the earth and has a fascinating collection of photos featuring you and a cougar twice your age, so cut the guy some slack, will you?!
05/28/03 bearded This is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. The owner of this must be very proud. For $600 he could have gone to Cancun for a week long bender and maybe even have gotten laid. The chances of getting laid in this thing are zero, even if the girl is drunk he still won't score dude! Two thumbs down!

I drive shuttles for a rafting outfitter here in central Oregon, today while at the Warm Springs bridge , on the Deschutes River, I see a work in progress pull into the parking area. A 66 peanut top splitty. As I have some time while I'm waiting for my clients to get there gear packed away , I go over to ask if they know of "Vintage Bus". No is the answer, hummm;.. next I ask, how about " the samba .com" Oh yea!... Iv'e heard of that...... I ask for permission to photo the bus, Granted, they say, .Artie & Debby of which I don't know owns the work in progress, grants me permission to photo the bus. Although they were a friendly pair, getting them to stand by there bus was not to be. respectfully submitted. t tacker Maupin, Or.

I finally inquired about the availability of this 58 VW Panel van. I'd known about it for years, but didn't have the ambition. Not that I've discovered any since, but my curiosity got the best of me a week ago. To make a long story short, all the owner was concerned about was a place to keep his Model T parts dry. I traded a rusty domestic North American van for it. I also got a hard to find T coupe trunk with it, in case you think I might have gotten the short end of the deal. Plans are to replace all the rust with fresh metal. I'll be fabricating new parts with mostly home built forming equipment. This is a project that only a die hard enthusiast would tackle.(confession is good for the soul) In reality I can't afford a mint original. There is some thing about the personality of the V Dub vans that screams care for me.

05/30/03 Jeremy I agree your 58 is rough. I doubt it is worse than my 58 deluxe. However like you I will bring it back to life. I like to see some of your fab equipment. i am a metal working junky and love seeing others homemade tooling. I built my rail completely from scrap metal. It is alot of fun.Later-Jeremy
