In Belgium tensions are getting high in the last straight to the elections this Sunday. Crazy to hear politicians talk about other parties, but they don’t say something that really matters about certain problems (and Belgium still has enough problems believe me) To hear them making promises that every logical thinking human being (and probably cats and dogs too) know they can’t and specially never will make come true… it’s ridiculous… it makes us happy, BBT is not about politics, but about doing things, about trying real hard to make our Volkswagen community better every day, little by little by pushing on quality, quality, quality because good quality really matters…

This week we like to present you a whole bunch of boring and not so boring brand new silver weld through sheet metal for split window bus and pick up. As you know our sheet metal is all pressed on cast tooling in the necessary steps exactly like Volkswagen used to do back in the day. We want to reach equal quality as original Volkswagen NOS parts and we will not stop before we have every single panel and metal parts available for your bus. With our sheet metal you can restore your split window bus into perfection and every week and every container we get a little closer to our target to do exactly that!

Let’s start with the panel that sits right under the loading floor of your single cab trucks and where the side gates hinges mount to. Did you know VW shortened these to fit double cab trucks? Check the detail pictures and man can see that everything is as good as it looks! All corners and radius exactly like original. These look like stupid parts for sure, but man can’t believe what kind of development was involved to come to these results.

0890-398 Side gate hinge panel right Pick-up – Bus -07/71 BBT

We already had the rear panel to this panel what you can find here:  0890-399 Engine lid hinge panel Pick-up – Bus -07/71 BBT

Next we have the side panel reinforcements on the inner side for panel and bus. We made all pressings exactly for a perfect fit. We’re working on a new exploded view to show where which panel exactly comes, but if you dismantle your bus you will quickly see where what belongs, it looks more complicated than it really is. Please check the detail pictures thoroughly. The detail in these rather “boring” parts is so wonderful…. we’re really very happy with the outcome.

0890-671 Side panel reinforcement 36mm profile – Bus 03/55-07/67

0890-670 Side panel reinforcement 10mm profile – Bus 03/55-07/67

This is another final from a complete series… the latches for your single cab side gates. With the rear latches arrived, now we got the full series of latches and catches. Replace your worn or bent latch with BBT’s high quality forged latches, exactly like original!

0168-012 Latch Rear Right pick up – Bus 08/52-07/79

It’s so funny that we care so much about sheet metal these days, maybe that’s because we used to do so much rust repair back in the day and we remember the poor quality of repair panels available back then, factories are laughing with us when we ask for more or better quality. A far cry back from our restoration panels of today. We’re on the right way to VW heaven perfection, a wonderful feeling!

We wish you all a very happy weekend, and for all Belgians, vote for the best on Sunday!
