1971 VW Bus Rescued for engine swap

[@DJ_TTC8]

Myself, My Dad Mark & My Uncle Ernie purchased a kit from you about 4 years ago while my dad was fighting Stage 4 cancer. He passed away Dec 2021, but he heard the Bus run days before he passed away. He said "Sounds Like Shit" because it was running off of old fuel. I am still working on it today. It runs like a champ, just the interior & exterior are left, but My little sister is helping me out because I am building it for her. I cant wait for the day me and her get to take it to the cemetery.. Thanks for helping make one of my dads dreams come true.

Missed the videos thanks for posting

I’ve been busy over at my other channel - Regen EVs - you may find it interesting, or maybe not!

[@shadowzinthegila1663]

I'll check it out

[@mnkombi5499]

Nice find..

[@SuperTwyx]

Unbelievable how clean the windows are after so many years - seems like a special place ...

[@forthwithtx5852]

Watch the tarps. They often accelerate rot. Glad to see you back and looking forward to new content!

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.... 😊

[@Busaru]

I love that little car, I’ll have to see if I can get it once I clear another project out of the way.

[@Sven_R.]

@@Busaru just ship that bus to me, problem solved...?! 😂

[@moge0620]

This Van is going to be so cool, Nice find man! Looking forward to follow the Project

[@samx9024]

I love seeing them in the wild.

[@nmartin5551]

I love watching you work! This will be great!

[@geirhellerud2130]

Nice find, love it.

[@rom_strom]

Can't wait to see what's in store for this one

[@Busaru]

Me too!!!

[@mechelleklosterman2549]

Awesome bus! I have a 71 camper bus we're building.

[@Busaru]

I will definitely be building a camper with this one, not sure how I'm going to power it though...

[@eleddie930]

I believe it has the same door and back seat panels as mine

[@johnknox6779]

Those hub caps are pretty rare. I've only seen one set.

[@Busaru]

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

[@nurburgflip1188]

It would be cool to hear the story on how you found it.

[@Busaru]

Good idea, it’s a pretty creative one for sure!

[@MrBLUEDEVILUK]

Use a large tarp held down with old speaker magnets 🧲

[@juniorclassicvwbugs924]

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.

[@VWJoseph]

Any updates on this one?

[@justinmann6797]

Sweet bus

[@harry1558]

Is there anyway to keep the air-conditioning from the doner car to use in the bus?

[@barqsgaming8030]

Is it possible to Subaru swap a 60s vw beetle?

[@pbnak]

Towing a ‘71 Bus with a Tesla! Yes

[@timsshed7843]

Nice

[@Busaru]

Thanks mate

[@Mr.NiceGuy420]

I have that sunroof that you're missing

[@Busaru]

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.

[@fredwhitmore3737]

Subaru the SAAB

[@Busaru]

That would be awesome!

[@fredwhitmore3737]

@@Busaru my 67 SAAB 96 wagon is gonna need a new v4 someday don’t think that flat 4 would fit. But I can dream.

[@jamie-r2034]

Get crazy and put that Tesla motor in the bus. lol

[@Busaru]

Hmmmm.... you may be interested in my channel "Regen Evs"

@@Busaru I'll check it out for sure! I've watched a lot of "jehugarcia" and his split window EV builds but will definitely check it out. Thanks!

[@Busaru]

Jehu is great, I met him down in Austin at an EV show - he’s a good guy.
