The Green Hornet – ’62 Microbus
This one-owner Split provided reliable transportall over the globe for half a century for its first owner, but in just six months its second owner has changed everything
Junior Senior – two ’51 Split Bugs
Same but different is one way to describe the end result of this father and son team from California who both started with unrestored ’51 Splits
The Look – ’62 356B
Any lowered VW on chromed early Fuchs could be said to have the GFK look, after the Californian Resto Cal club the German Folks, but does that look work on anything other than a VW? Well, what do you think?
Hessich Overload
There’s no doubt in my mind, the Hessich Oldendorf is best Vintage
VW show I have attended in my life – it is in a league of its own!
Dropping Science – ’79 Bay Panel
What you are looking at here is the lowest of the lot. This Bus lives at the very bottom of the heap and you probably won’t see anything else out there even close to taking its title, but then there’s a very good reason for this!
Project 311 – ’72 Type 3 Fastback
It took VW a long time to get round to building anything that could truly be called a sports car but, using primarily VAG parts, Angelo Amato set out to build what he feels the factory should have built in the 70s
Blue Stratos – ’54 Oval
As soon as we met the owner of this Oval we knew we had to feature it. Less than an hour later we’d set up the lights and were shooting it!
Peppercorn
The hideous weather looked as though it was going to ruin the event, but then it turned out nice again...
Our Projects:
With a little help from his friends, Steve finally plucks up the courage to break out the grinder and hack an almighty hole in the roof of the Bug.
How to fix your Bay’s handbrake
The handbrake cables on your Bus serve as vital parts of your braking system. Not only do they stop your pride and joy from rolling down the hill on incline starts, they also serve as the last line of defence should the rest of your braking system fail through a burst brake pipe or other catastrophic brake failure.
