Sneak Peak, at an undisclosed location....

What is this I spy...behind the Blue 993 track car...

It's a VW Panel Bus! A few weeks ago I managed to snap a few pictures of one of the cooler works-in-progress that I have seen in quite a while. Here we have what many would probably consider sacrilege. A very god condition, California sourced, rust free, 1950's split window VW Panel Bus. Double doors, very cool. This is a pretty rare Volkswagen; one that 99% of the old school air-cooled heads would give up their first born and their first dog for. (probably their first Hacky Sack too, hahahah! I kid, I kid!) Check out the travesty! OH NO!

Anyways, this bus was deemed the perfect starting point for a 911 swap. Sure sure, it could have been kept as is or just freshened up, but this baby is getting a whole new lease on life, and I can assure you that it is going to end up 100 times better than your average Cal-look slammer. A 3.2 Liter 911 flat six, 911 brakes, 911 steering, 911 suspension, vintage 1970's 911 wheels, and of course, slammed to the ground. All done the right way. It's still a work in progress, but you better believe that when it's done we'll be doing a full report. Try not to salivate too much...
