Worth Saving?
Another found in the woods in Sint-Amandsberg close to Ghent. Would it be worth to restore it and save it from the scrapyard?

BugTour Edition 2
Here's some more info about our Bugtour: As you already might know our Bugtour #2 will take place on the 29th of May 2005. The tour should start at our Clubrestaurant 'De Sebastiaan' at about 9-10 o'clock where you will be able to enjoy a coffee and a small breakfast. After that we head off to Groede in the Netherlands. Once in Groede you'll have the opportunity to eat something (included in the price which isn't set yet). After the lunch we head back to Ghent we're the tour will end. Of course you're free to take as many stops as you want to drink something and enjoy the Aircooled-life as contenders drive by (Life is beautifull, don't you all agree?).
Once the price for all this is set, you'l be the first to know. If you're interested, just mail me (see my complete profile) or post a comment.

Transporter Room
Do you mind if I tell you a little story 'bout this bus who's now belonging to Kobus? Well, several years ago when this bus still belonged to Koen De Smet of Geko-tuning, my mom used this well-known wheelstander to take her plants to the shelter to protect them from the cold winters. Of course it wasn't with the drag-engine and it wasn't good for wheelstanding action but is was more than powerfull enough the carry the plants and my mom. If I'm not mistaking it was a exotic 'square'-engine with even more exotic JE-pistons.

Airbagged Lowlight Ghia looks the part. The boys at KustomcoachWerks drop their rides to the max. Check their site at http://www.kustomcoachwerks.com/. They even produce narrowed adjustable or narrowed airbagged frontbeams for type threes. Way to go I think.

Do you like nicely and fresh upholstered interiors? Well all your dreams might come true thanks to a friend of ours who' s following a course for seat upholstery. Currently she's busy with the interior of my project bug as a try out. If the result is as good as her enthusiasm it will look the part. So keep your eyes open. Thanks Nele and keep up the good work.
