    it is genuine or one someone has built? it looks pretty good
     
  2. I think its a self build

    If not then ive never heard of a brazilian 4wd before and would be interested in any info on them
     
  3. I've fancied building a 4wd bay for a while now!!
     
  4. That could change my opinion of Brazilian bays!!! 8)
     
  5. 4wd fish do it dude
     
  6. it's also one of those funny half split / half bay / half left over parts things
     
  7.  
  8. Was is past tense i want to hear i am considering it lmao

    Put it this way do it properly so its a demonstator and if i like it after a drive and lots of questions
    You can convert my bus next
     
  9.  
  10. Dont want any of that modern electronic muck on my bus engine lol

    Did any tractors use flat four engines?
     
  11.  
  12. plus you can get custom flywheels made, so potentially you could run it with a type 1 on it :)
     
  13. My whole bus is being built around the kiss principle lol

    Hence no alloys as a steel wheel can be bashed into shape with a rock unlike an alloy lol

    Its the pure simplicity of aircooled dubs that i admire the most
     
  14.  
  15. Thats whats great about dubs

    Two more or less indentical vehicles in the simple sense and two owners with fifferent ideas and plans
    yet discussing it with no one upmanship in mind

    I think too many years of working at the side of the road have knocked my engineering ambition lol
     
  16. :D

    I get where you are with the side of the road.. but with me that just drives me on!!

    The fish has only broken down on me twice... once when the accelerator cable broke, but I was underway half hour later (had a spare) and the 2nd time, the cheapy facet fuel pump died when it got wet... fixed that by installing a cb rotary pump that's fully sealed :D
     
  17. Aircooled dubs and make do and mend used to go hand in hand
    Now there worth good money its not the same

    I still love chrome dont get you home lol
     
  18. vw made a few 4x4 prototypes many years ..read it in camper n bus ...but they didnt go into production ...ill find the mag and scan the page for ya when im home
