My old 1950 Splitwindow Beetle. With all new and custom made suspension parts. 6″ narrowed front beam, adjusters, dropped CB spindles, flipped tierods, adjustable springplates in rear, later style transmission with syncronized gears and all new bushings and brakes. Awsome car! Sold to a collector in Italy 2009.
Painting BOSE speakers for $20000 today. Was white but going to be Silver metallic RAL 9006.

Yeah the winter season is definitely here. It’s -10 celsius (14 Farenheit) outside here in Sweden. But days like that are perfect for ordering new VW parts with a cup of coffee in the other hand. Im making a loong list of new parts for the Baywindow Highroof project and also new window rubbers etc for the VW T3 transporter. After 10 years of building VW’s I finally found a serviceminded VW part store that have great quality on their stuff too!
Im now buying all my new parts from JUSTKAMPERS instead. They are based in the UK but ships worldwide, cheap shipping prices and have the best service you will ever find from a VW shop. I can really recommend these guys, take a look at their website here!
I also got some stuff done on the Highroof, removed all brakes, masterbrakecylinder, booster, steeringrods etc front beam soon ready to get dropped down and put on the table for some restoration (new needle bearings, balljoints, bumpstops, kingpin bushings etc). Hope to get started on the metalwork on Benny’s T3 soon also…

Some pictures from earlier this year on the Porsche. Check the video and turn up the volume! Flat6 rules!
Started to remove the old undercoating yesterday. A needlehammer makes the job alot easier! The good news is that its rock solid in the metal/chassi. Next step will be to remove torsionarms, drums, beam, steeringparts etc and send it off to the mediablasting. Stay tuned…
Bennys VW Transporter is in the garage and got some parts removed. Like bumpers, emblems, lights etc. Preping for a new paintjob! Moved the Highroof bus out to the main hall getting it ready for new brakes, wires, steering parts, shocks etc. Got the new Fiama rooflight/ventilation with 12v fan and some other parts too. Ready to install next time…
The last days the inside of the Highroof bus have got attention. Some support bars for roofbed and overheadlockers was welded in place. Then hours of scrubbing away old glue and oil/wax from the floor was needed, not fun but thanks to the oil on the floor no rust repair was needed. When it all was clean it was time to sand it all down with 240 & 320 grit papers and then zinc primer. Topcoat in glossy white in 2 layers. Looks nice and feels alot more airy now. Like a blank canvas for the new interior to come!
Time for something more modern tech. Living up north its pretty dark during winter time so little extra light is nerver wrong. Found this OSRAM 4D light 210watt online for a good price and in a good size. Made a custom bracket bolted to the numberplate mounts/screws so it fitted in the lower grill, protected and hidden. Heavy duty light relay installed with signal from hi beam light/switch. Great light, big diffrence, recommended!
Looked good slammed on Empi 5 spokes. Visit www.camperontour.com for roadtrip storys and pics with this bus.
The fueltank for the Highroof bus is now cleaned and in paint, ready to install. VW anthracite grey. #highroofbayproject
Legend and a hero and total genius, Burt Munro! The world need more people like him…
Built this Beetle some years back. It was just a empty rolling shell from begining. Slammed on a 6 inch beam and polished Torque wheels.
Bought this cool VW bus all the way from Florida. Its for 3 years and older kids. My son is just 1 month but what the heck! It has a electric 6 volt engine, mp3 sound, cupholders and front lights.
During the summer the Gasoline Magazine came by the garage for a photoshoot and quick interview. Read all about it in the latest issue, in stores now! Or visit: www.gasolinemagazine.se
A new sign in the garage and the lowrider is wrapped/protected in for the winter. This weekend a new car arrives to the garage, a VW bus T3.
All windows are now out of the Highroof bus. Removed the front windscreen today and sandblasted the small rust in the windowframe. This is a very common rust spot on Bay buses but this bus was very clean here also! Painted it all in yellow epoxy 2K primer afterwards for protection! #highroofbayproject
The bus project moves on. Started to fix the sliderdoor yesterday. Sandblasted and now painted in primer. One step closer…
Restoration of a 1963 Chevrolet steeringwheel. Was cracked, sunburnt and painted red from begining. Now restored and painted today in black! Need a steeringwheel or something else restored? Let me know!
