Welcome to the unveiling of Chameleon Mace Studios latest acquisition:
1966 Volkswagen Kombi
Here are some initial pictures of our latest toy. The story: after looking at busses for the last couple months, I found this one online and hundreds of miles on my search, I was going to make it the last bus that I was looking at before throwing in the towel. I didn't expect to find much when I made the trek to see it, but when I did I couldn't believe my eyes. It was bright, but it was also one of the nicest busses I had seen. It had a slightly drivable shot tranny, but the engine purred like a kitten. The interior was clean - all panels, carpet kit, headliner, seats - near perfect. All of the rubber wass fresh. The paint wasn't too bad, just bright. What pleased me was that everything worked and almost everything was in place! A rarity if you know busses.
Let me tell you, I know why the kid who sold it to me couldn't afford the tranny job. Talk about labor intensive. Here's what finally went into the bus before I got it on the road:
New Transmission, Rebuilt reduction gear boxes, New rear brakes, New Shocks, New Generator, stay tuned Stories to Come.
