We showed pictures before from our Canadian friens Jac’s 56 panel engine, now this engine is all mounted and Jac enjoy’s fully. who wouldn’t?
Nice and dry in the dealer showroom
Lines we all de for….
The modified exhaust fits perfect under the rear ppressed bumper, quiet a lot of job though!
YES! we do love Okrasa engines, the most neat engine of all time!

We also had a new load of Convertible chassis strengtheners came in, we sell these so many, never realized there was so many convertibles still around. Quality is second to none, or just s comparable as OE. we supply to models;
Beetle convertible 1949-1970 up to chassisnr.150 3100 000 use BBT ref 0886-500 for left and 0886-510 for the right side
Super beetle Convertibles, 1970 -1980 with Mac Person suspension in the front use BBT 0886-550 for left and 0886-560 for the right side
We have another big news to tell… BBT do stock from now on the real reproduction of Banana bumpers used on beetles pre 1949! we got front and rear bumpers and the horns, on request we also can supply the chrome version… many years obsolete we thought we had to bring these back. stamped out of one piece there is nothing coming closer to the real deal…. No BBT part number, but available from our shop. just ask; “Banana’s”…:)
Easter Holiday was also the start to move our NOS dept. we still carried a large NOS room in our old building… move is slow and though, but one day we make it! Cylinder heads have made it to their new location already, fancy for NOS cylinder heads? 1.2 or 1.3 single port or others? You name it we probably got some…

This bus is an extreme cool panel van and the first year of the available option of a sliding cargo door. Build in November 1964 we have to call this a 1965 model year.
The bus is all good and runs just fine, brakes are strong and tranny is all overhauled for smooth shifting… All electrics doing just fine, all in all this baby is ready to hit the road!
1964 Panel van with sliding cargo door! Check out more details and pictures here!
