The Finished Bus
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Running Gear
Saturday, January 6th, 2007Anibal Chico www.steelbuggin.com built this 1776 long block with a new case, new heads, C25 cam for torque, with a deep sump and full flowed for oil filtering. We then added powder coated German doghouse tin, new Sachs clutch, powder coated intake manifold, and even tracked down a complete 38A (68-71 bus) generator – so we could run some extra music at some stage.

Wednesday, June 25th, 2003Introduction – our first real vw bus
Monday, January 6th, 2003Although this is not where it all started this is where pictures and detailing what we’ve done maybe started. So here goes, we wanted a bus, something to move more than 5 people, was cool, was old… so after an aborted attempt with a (hindsight) really nice SO-42 split screen we arrived at a vw split screen that had seats. Onto the Samba.. we eventually found one - a super correct 67 deluxe with all the right parts.
This is where we started in 2002;
Once again the Samba came to our rescue but this time we took some time and chose more of what we wanted;
- Original
- Bus with seats
- Deluxe
- Not much welding
Owned and driven by the guys who run Hannoverwerks – now a defunct website but they were all over the scene in the late 90’s.
