This was the talk of the town for last couple of months in the Vintage VW world!
VolksAuto Magazine is the proud result of hard work from Die-Hard VW enthusiast Rob Amos.
Rob brought us a real cool new VW magazine, strictly for the Vintage VW community.

BBT is proud advertiser from this magazine, and we’re even more proud we got a nice feature about our front fender production….

In our aim to build perfect Bay window cab doors we have now the doors completely digitized.
Also the tooling development is completely engineered. For the outer skin we need 7 tools in total, for the inner frame, there’s 6.

Stay tuned for all further updates on the Bay window cab door project on our BBT Blog….
