Catch of the week, super fresh Ghia coupe came in, wowh! Look now!
We had a real cool 1968 Karmann Ghia coupe in this week, ever fancied a Ghia coupe? This might be your perfect choice, runs, drives, solid, dry, clean in and out and some cool nice features…
Sports a healthy bill of a serious service for 3000 euro from less than a year ago, so this baby is all ready to go and enjoy!
Striking lines, striking color!
Nice, from every angle!
Clean…inside, out…..
Unmolested cool dash, the white steering wheel add to the real vintage look of the car!
Upholstery in better than nice condition
Hmmm yammie! we love nice original headliners!
This is what we all looking for in any Ghia, a real straight un-dented, un-repaired nose, only visible from the inside, this baby had nothing!
This baby drives so nice, close to “as new” condition….
all further information can be obtained by simple emailing me… Bob@bbt4vw.com
Another Sunday at BBT…
another Sunday @ BBT HQ yesterday, Simon from UK came to BBT to swap his crew cab with a German buyer and pick up his SO23 project from us, meanwhile his buddy delivered the infamous Just Kampers Bay Window to another German guy, so all together it isn’t that bad Belgium is right in the middle between UK and Germany….:)
The patina SO23, wouldn’t mind it stayed a little longer, crazy car, very dry and and all original, interior needs to be redone, but where You gonna find another one? congrats Simon, You picked the right thing from the (BBT) stash…:)
Two happy fellows, Simon and yours truly….
The German boys, Simon and me…
Sunday, happy Sunday…..
Kukies New BBQ
Kukie is doing good just bought himself a brand new BBQ, at least that’s what he told everybody….:)
New arrival… fresh out container… Super Solid Super Beetle convertible, Look this!
sometimes we get asked like how we get cars in and out containers, last week our good friend of “Da House” Dave Warren, a real professional photographer was here and made a beautiful feature of unloading a car from a container…. a rock solid 1974 super beetle (that’s 1303 for Europe) blessed with a small engine fire, (everything looks worse like it really is) and I don’t think, this baby needs that much to come back on the road… but first the unloading part!
Let the story start!
Another day in the BBT warehouse….
another container rolls in, straight from Dallas Texas
on board our feature car, nicely loaded by yours truly on his last US trip, see previous Blog Posts in the travel section…
we build a custom ramp, after all the years we became pretty handsome with the nail gun….:)
car had an engine fire, nothing bad, except it makes up for a cheap cheap cheap project! 
we start to free the wheels, they’ve been blocked with side wood and wood before and after the wheel, and strapped down with ropes…
get everything out underneath….
then we lift the whole ramp just enough to knock the pillars from underneath, so we can sink and incline the ramp so the car can be slowly taken out without touching the doors…
precision forklift work for the helpers, also how to lift a convertible on its rear suspension and chassis strengtheners require some experience…
… and out it is!
and this is how the ramp looks empty…:)
and what is the feature car???
a 1974 Super beetle 1303 project, kind a cool and especially solid survivor, except for the floorplates…
dull paint, car stands for over 10 years
inside as good as everywhere! 
strengtheners, we saw way worse! 
so dry inner fenders, isn’t this illegal? or only close? anyway we can handle! 
very cool project, and yes it is for sale, don’t let it slip away!

Friday product update
Two weeks without Product update, BBT’s Open House and convoy, Hessisch Oldendorf and European Bug in kept us very, very busy!
But now we’re back, and we have been busy in our product dept for sure, so loads of new parts to present today….
Parts from VW people for VW people… we at BBT use our own parts on our own cars, and do drive our cars, camp in them, live them, breath them….
so what’s new, and what we do exactly did last couple of weeks to help your hobby! let’s move to the parts now….

Replace that worn out, and cracked or broken handle with this quality product! the best on the market and at an extreme competitive price too! not the flimsy plastic whobbling reproduction, but something really usable here!

BBT # 0257-010 Rubber brake/clutch pedal pad (wedge type)
After VW fined us for selling pedal pads with VW logo seems they can’t supply themselves. We have found the only solution in the 1974 and later pedal pads, they don’t carry a VW logo so that’s no big deal but they fit all models and years… we working on the official distribution of the logo version but not ready yet, at least we have here an alternative for the time being, fits all beetles, and T25/T3 Vanagon buses…
