Anyone
know anything about this plate on the base of the carb? It's factory
original by the way. |

Willems 1967 2.0 16V turbo
bus water-cooled motor. Willem had to cut into the floor of the bus
to install the radiators and all the necessary hardware. We suspect that
this bus has originally come from the Military. |

This bus is owned by a friend of mine
Marius, I've known him for a while and it was his brother Morné who
helped me pick up my crew cab one night out in the sticks. This bus
started out a nasty peach colour that no-one really cared for, so Marius
quickly slapped on some purple, that makes it look WAY cooler. The paint
is only temp until he decides what he wants to do with the bus. |
  |
Not much on this baby I'm afraid. I was
already late for work, So I was running around the bus taking pictures.
Saw it standing outside my local V Dub shop. Nice solid looking bus that
is used as a band bus, this must be the coolest band equipment lugger
arounder that I've ever seen. The bands name was something like starland
vocal band...lol. Actually it was something or other creek mountain band. |
 |
I couldn't track the owner down on this
one. This thing is WICKED. The specs that I do have on it are pretty
sketchy, but I only really noticed that it's an ambulance when I saw the
cab divider. When I stepped around to the back, I saw the door and I saw
the light. This thing is super smooth, and sports a set of Jetta VR6, BBS
rims and a few other goodies, the colours are WILD and these pics, really
don't do this bus any justice. |

This Is Dirks Bus, it's a 1975 15 window
Fleetline. This baby has come a far way since I first saw it. The bus came
basically complete, but totally stripped, no windows, motor or gearbox.
Dirk got the bus from non runner to a runner in about 2 months! |
 |
Well another 15 window has shown itself
and unfortunately the previous owner of this once Orange and white two
tone Fleetline bus didn't really look after the bus. I spoke with the new
owner and hopefully we'll be able to help him with a cab divider as well
as a few parts that he needs to spruce it up. The rust on this thing was
quite bad, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. |
