Shop Visit in Germany-BusOK

Post by Bleyseng » Wed Feb 24, 2016 5:37 am

I have been in Holland and Germany now for weeks so this was a must visit for me. I love going to various shops around the world checking them out and seeing what parts/cars/stuff they have.
BusOK really impressed me with the amount of real VW parts they had. Some German, some Brazillian etc but little chinese crap. They do have made lots of parts too that are just unobtainium these days, like the perfect match green westy door panels or the Westy fabric that is better than oem fabric. I bought 4 meters to redo my bed and pad just because this is a beautiful product vs the stuff I bought from BusDepot years ago. They also had a 77 orange Berlin Westy with only 26,000km on it which was amazing and they show from time to time. It's also what they use to get a perfect part to repo when parts need to be copied.
In the pictures is a 58 splitty that was burnt in a fire and is under going final restoration with the paint matching one of those little metal models.
Monique is holding a muffler for a really small type one engine if you need one. This is a good shop to shop for parts for splittys, Bays and Vanagons

The little rubbery plastic pins go in the upper roller cover on the sliding door which in the pic you can just barely see in the upper left. I guess that was too hard for you diehard guys.

That is a gross stretch of perceptual peculiarity. Did you pass your Rorschach Test?
