  • This poor bus has been melting into the juniper forest of Southwest Colorado for nearly 20 years. I bought another one parked next to it and moved it last year. Its the pumpkin bus' turn for rescue. Lots of big plans for this guy so stay tuned.

    Aw man., how I would love to be able to find a bus like that over here in Germany. Lucky man!
    Btw. that Saab- Saabaru would also make a nice name.... 😊

      I agree, VW seemed to be going the wrong direction by introducing those.

    Good morning brother, lovers the busaru conversion projects you worked on in the past. I used to watch your videos al the time but with my own channel and personal vw projects I have lost some time and track of your cool projects. Anyways I would like to know if you have and email I could reach out to you about the busaru conversation projects. I have two new projects I stated to work on. A 71 westy tin top and a 71 super beetle. I am entertaining the idea of making one or the other a vw to Subaru engine swap and would like to pick on your brain… lol… I hope to keep track this time since this is a 71 just like mine except mine is a tin top.

      Oh man, at one point I probably would have jumped on it, I think I’m now leaning more toward a camper setup so wouldn’t want to waste it, as another poor sunroof-less soul may need it. Thank you very much for the offer though.
