That looks like a blast!  Great to see everyone have fun (and stay healthy!). Those control arms are gnarly…

I saw this on his IG several months back – I presume he’s just pivoting away from VW to the classic Datsun/Toyota market.

So it’s looking like you’ll be able to drive without needing hand controls?  If so, that’s outstanding news!  And definitely worth making some serious work/lifestyle changes to preserve that ability.

I’ve decided to sell those bitchen middle and rear seat set.. 🤫 I have a Tits 67 only 2/3 middle seat?? Anyone? 😎 a fair amount of low light shit.. a fair amount of oval shit lots of randomn shit and glass and old gates and a trailer of engine stuff too. Lots of jewelry 😎😎😎😎

I’d be interested in some of the lowlight stuff if it’s better than what I have now on my car.  Lazy approach…..I’d rather replace with better instead of restoring stuff.  Door and side glass/outer chrome trim (to replace my scratched up stuff) come to mind.

Possibly rear decklid too, or at least the inner rain tray portion of one (my tray is hacked with a poorly done patch).

I think today’s the day.  Good luck, JJ.  Prayers and good thoughts for a positive outcome.  Hope you can get some pain relief and mobility back.

These things are way cool.  I’d consider fabing a brace to triangulate the bottom of the box back to the axle tube.  With the wheel center that far down on the box it just seems like a stress fracture around the tube/box junction waiting to happen, especially when over terrain where the suspension cycles through positive/negative camber extremes.

I am obviously gonna fix this trans situation and have the Pamper back dialed in.. I’m sure I’ll be done this weekend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Question is…. Do I keep Towing with the pamper??????? I have proven it wears your axles and fulcrums out as a minimum. No one makes bus axles., Straight axle everything go back to lowered life…. You can buy ALL that shit!!!!!! let’s hear some opinions! Start using the dually???? It’s pretty cool🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫. Sell the pamper to buy a big ass toy hauler?!?!?!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Straight axle and drop the engine and craddle like the BBOE.  Keep tall tires, no camber and it’ll sit plenty high enough.

Select “Media” from the drop-down menu in the upper right of the page header (the three horizontal lines).  The old forum dialogue isn’t there, but the photos are of many old builds.

slap some centerlines and muddies on the front of that thing and call it done! great looking bus, can’t wait to see the progression 😀

^^THIS.

Raised white letters on the tires, scoops over the hacked vents, flares over the hacked wheel arches, and get Doug to spruce up the interior with some shag and crushed velvet.  Hope the E-Z-Go wink mirror stays! 😀
