Title: Pimp My Ride: '58 Volkswagen Bus
Post by: Dave R on December 22, 2004, 10:11:55 PM

Well... they've done it, they've \"gimped\" a split. My Favorite quote has to be: \"and then we bondo'd it up!\" :wacko:
I couldn't get it to load by simply clicking on it, I had to rightclick-save target as and it worked after a lengthy download. But who knows! might stream for you by just clicking on it!

personally, I think they ripped off alot of ideas for that bus, and copied the blaupunkt show bus...

Were still n shock and only half way thru it. Anyone notice the Drywall edging they used in the rust repair! A rocker is only $20! \"We had to use aluminum and rivet it to the bus, cover it in fiberglass and Bondo!\"

Ummm whats with the school bus sign hacked into the cooling vents? This just shows how crappy their work is.

ive seen this already, its been posted other places, the rough part is that bus wasnt even that bad.

the thing that pissed me off was when they covered the floor with the fake hardwood without doing rust repair.

news flash.

it's pimp my ride.

if you have seen the show even once before, you know the type of shit they do to vehicles. the masterfull  :wacko:  work they did to that split is not that surprising.

imho, i think it actually turned out better than i expected. remember, it is pimp my ride after all. expect the worse.
