    I really enjoy the amount of work that you've had done to your van, I was wondering whether you are able to shift gears on it or if the shifter is just decorative?

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Doe says:

    Well, I have a dream to build a VW bus like this, and also I want to add the hood with solar panels, so it will self-charge when it needs

    hey J.
    I am just getting parts together for my Early Bay 1970 VW conversion. I figured i'd go with a Tesla SDU rear motor (direct drive) and long range battery and have been offered a Model X charger. Do you know if all Tesla models' parts are compatible ?
    Thanks for inspiring me mate

    Do think you could convert a 1989 Landcruiser? I would be willing to ditch the 4×4 aspect of it?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FeveredMind says:

    Can you keep the pack in the luggage compartment, in addition to the gas tank area batteries and get around 200 miles range or do you think that would that be too much weight on the rear suspension?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FeveredMind says:

    I want to do this to my future split window bus. I’m hoping the costs come down a bit in the next few years. That cup holder is 🔥. I suppose I should focus on just getting a bus first. Haha

    I have an old bus and am gathering quotes to get it converted. Running into an issue when I try to determine how much the converted bus will be be worth. Are you aware of a good place to look for this data?

    I like how you discuss the "safety features" the safari windows are for when you crash you can now go through this hole and land safely on the ground. ha ha. great funny stuff!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ed says:

    Never really liked how Tesla cars looked. Drove one and wow it was awesome. I also have 2 buses and am considering a conversion.
