That rocks!!

[ChrisG]

That looks potent!!!!

[bugspray]

Thats fookin INSANE! Awesome in the uberest degree. How'd you get it that low?? And can you even have more than one person in there with you?

[Donovan D]

Cant be that low without weedeater beams,,, there is no turning radius,

Will go perfectly straight into a corner

[Muderick]

Photoshop Goblin? Looks good that low though!!

[goblin]

photo shop is great. but that is how i want my bus. going to order that offset spring plates then going to get my front suspension done

[BUSBFK]

Sweet

Just for a bit of balance here ... I think it looks stupid.

Also, to make a bus that low outside of photochop requires "tubbing", which is not exactly a reversible mod.

I really don't get the attraction of lowered buses. Why would anyone want to detract so much from the bus's utility just to satisfy a dubious urge to look "cool". If you must modify your bus's ride height, RAISING it would be more appropriate for African conditions.

This is just my opinion and is not a criticism of anyone; please don't take it personally.

This is a response to goblin's photochop pic of his bus "in the weeds". If anyone wants to debate my point of view, please start a new thread in the appropriate forum; I'm sure goblin doesn't want his project thread to become a battleground.

The keyword is tastefully lowered

[goblin]

thanks for your opinion fig. ive learnt a great amount of things from you, but this is my personal opinion and i like the look. my heart is still with oldskul vw's and wateva mods i do will still be changable to its original form, so yes i would go with the lowered look because I LIKE IT.

[goblin]

just got my beam narrowed by 4 inches and also got my spindles flipped to give me a 3.5 inch drop from what a had it before.

i love it
now to just get the rear sorted once i recieve my springplates from jhb

[goblin]

front suspension is in and looking great. i repaired the one side of the roof that was badly rusted. but as i was doing that i just discovered that there is more fibre glass on the roof so i started ripping it off just to find some more rust. i got 2 options:

1- take the bus off the road completely (not knowing for how long)

2- work the bus piece by piece and keep it on the road.

(thinking Face)

Ps. can someone please help me post my pics the files are too large

[1972]
