as a minority voice - i think you should stay away from the obvious red theme and let the body mods do the talking
one q though, you got a VW badge on the front and a pony on the back - is it gonna stay with the "pull-me push-me" badging?

WOW !!!
I love it! I used to own a '63 'Kombi' and always had the idea of a porsche or subaru engine, but a Ferrari? Great idea and work so far!

I was about to do the same thing too! I have been planning it for a few years now (too busy with other stuffs and no time to build ). Even have the same 23 window VW Samba Bus (It's Hasegawa right?) I was going to use a Tamiya Testarossa engine though. Seems like I have to put another engine then...

Re: VW Samba Bus w. 12 cyl. engine

Looks very cool, some would call it sacrillage. What wheels are you going to use? Good look with the side slats!

Hi,

I have a set of Fujimi 5-spoke 17" wheels. The rear ones will be very wide for the tremendous power.

I intended to take 18 or 19 ", but then the Bus is too high and I want to have it very low.

Hi,

interior floor will be made of wood, because it is a surfer´s bus and your feet are always covered with sand :-))
