1973 Volkswagen Kombi Type 2 Subaru EJ25 STI 400hp Powered Campervan Build Project
Divers Street Rods took home the Hutton Builders Choice Award at Goodguys 2015 with their 1972 Volkswagen Bus. Most of the parts on this Van was sourced from a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX. The van is powered by a 400 horsepower turbocharged EJ257 flat-four connected to the factory four-speed automatic transmission. Some of the few parts that are not from Subaru are the Wilwood brakes and the front suspension is an Art Morrison Mustang II clip.

This is unreal!!!! As a previous VW van owner, and current STi owner, among NSX, S2000 etc.... I love it!!!!!
Absolutely stunning! You guys crushed that build! Fantastic job and dedication coz that was a monumental amount of work!
Initially I was thinking it was one of the more "common" Subaru engine swaps, using an adapter plate to reuse a modified VW gearbox. Never expected a full-on built chassis conversion including dash & interior supports. Very nice indeed. I only wish the ending included a clip of the van driving and accelerating.
I would own one of these. So well built. This is a true award winner and show stopper. Beautiful re-build. Countless hours I'm sure.
I own 71 vW BUS with a Subaru engine, and it is a good fit, and in good shape, and used as a daily driver. This HBC and it s creation is love of the build , and the highest level of integrity realized through imagination prowess that I have had the privilege to witness.. After seeing this project and it's quality I instantly became a subscriber. Thank you for letting me see this rebirth of two cars into one with a creative mix of your ideas to put it all together.
Absolutely gorgeous. You guys will go to heaven for saving this ugly old ice cream van. You've transformed it into a 'one-off', outstanding workmanship and vision. You've definitely earned your place in heaven..........did you know that Saint Peter of the Pearly gates drive's a 69 VW van...?......... Thank you to all involved. There is no better vehicle to restore.
Best Subaru conversion I have seen! The proper way to go about it! If I do mines over, I will go similar route! Use Subaru gearbox. And eliminate the original vw suspension, it doesn't really match with the Subaru power! Hands down on this build!!!
So I'm thrilled, I was a coachbuilder by trade and I can roughly assess the work. But I admit that I could only partially do the work. I am amazed and enthusiastic about the project and those who are running it. I hope that she will show us more projects of this kind in the future,
HBC, you guys are absolutely insane... in a good way. This is an incredible build, that shows vision, tenacity, and great love for cars. I have been driving T's, starting with T3, and currently owning a T5 and a T6, but this video really inspired me. I really like what I see here, there are not enough awards to truly reward you for what you've done here. Congratulations, and success in the future.
Such a shame we didn’t see and hear it on the road
And for that no like from me but how impressive is that as a show car build!
What to say.. what to say! I guess I'll start by saying this is no garden Variety Kombi Bus, that's for sure. This Well thought out Imagineering Beast is Totally Off the Hook, It definitely deserves every Car Show Award it receives in my opinion! And unlike my usual comment's I post on this channel, I would Like to offer my list of things I would do differently or change on this Fine Automobile... Ready... Not a Single thing! Nothing! Zero Items! Everything I thought I wouldn't Like while watching the Build, Seamed totally right to me when it was finished, Everything turned out Simply Beautiful! The Person or Persons that thought out this mesh of these two different vehicles Hit it out of the ball-park! Also all the workmanship turned out so Awesome. And also I would like to express my appreciation to you H.B.C. for putting this project together in a very Kool Video montage for all our Viewing Pleasure, I even noticed the Extra finished project shots and also noticed your new addition of H.B.C. apparel. Please Keep up the Great Efforts! Thanks again.
how much ass can u kiss... i'd say its def too much horsepower for a camper van that young people use to take long continental trips in.. uses to much gas to be practical.. the rest is clean though not very practicle... 7/10.
@@larsvegas1505 camper vans need to go a minimum of 250 mph
Wow!! What an unbelievable amount of work you guys put in, but the end result is awesome. Congrats to all who participated , you all did outstanding work. She looks beautiful.
No windshield wipers?
This is pure perfection. U guys put my two favorite cars and painted in my favorite color in the most magical way. Awesome job.
I have never seen work done on a VW Van like this one,WOW the builders are truly first class artisans my hats off to you
Absolutely correct. True visionary's and incredibly skilled...... Possibly the best outthere.
This video just Proves , why cant all the auto maker, just stay with the older bodies, and modernize them, this is a beautiful conversion from old to new. but they have to build boxes in to cars, stick with what worked, that's why everyone wants a older vehicle. Great build.
That’s exactly what Porsche does.
I love this channel. Dream's become reality here......fact!..... Thank you Hand Built Cars.
Wow!! You guys are original!! Then there's the skill/engineering. So cool 🏁👍👍
Man, that is some excellent fabrication work! I'll bet it runs and drives like it came from the factory like that.😁👍
one of the nicest and cleanest builds i have seen, i wish i could own one.
Yes indeed it is👍😎
Totally
What an amazing job! A work of art and a wonder. Congratulations to the builders.
At first... I was not happy you chopped up a good Subaru.... But then I saw you used many of the parts and made one awesome combi! Great job
It was kinda sad seeing it reduced to a pile of scrap but i agree
I’m a fabricator at a hot rod shop.. Man that metal work is second to none... great work!!
The Workmanship is out of this world!!! Excellent job!!! WOWWWWWWW!!!!
I love this project from 64vw of nj 😉
After seeing loads of these vans it really takes something special to stand out to me, and that dashboard is first class.
Loving that VW turbo badge on back! Amazing work now that's pride right there!
Amazing! That color looks fantastic! It looks like it just rolled out of the factory, but better! Amazing work!
These guys are artist! And this is Functional Art! Beautiful!
Love the interior
Me too!
Seriously, it's the best kombi turning that I've ever seen. I love it, good job guys, keep going.
Insane amount of work. Appreciate the engineering that has gone into this build well done!
This was really a radical restomod. You have used the Subaru dash, seats and many other parts, and fabricated sub chassis for the front and rear. Awesome!
I've never been a fan of bay window buses but this is the sickest one I've ever seen congratulations bro
Incredible work, my greatest respect, but it really has to have a VW logo on the front. Greetings from Berlin Germany
This is such a great build I had to watch it twice before I even commented on on just how well done this is. Thank you for sharing this.
Awesome build by far. I've seen EJ20's hanging off the rear mating to the original box. But changes the weight of the car too much. The sub frame is the best solution. Excellent weight distribution and solid build. BTW hats off to your welder too. The un noticed hero.
And first prize goes to///// WHOEVER BUILT THIS STUNNING VAN , all I can say is the builders should be very proud of themselves.
I love this! I am an old air-cooled junkie but these Subaru Motors seem to be great for Hi-Tech VW projects. I have had two of these Bus's in my life and I loved both both of them. This is Awesome. I thought the Porsche Factory Racing VW Bus W/911 engine was the bomb but this kicks ASS. Everything about it!!!. I have always loved this color combo!
Subaru Impreza engine in old van. Awesome creativity. 👌👌
hand built cars,amazing restoration vw combi,perfect,good job.........👌👍👍
What an outstanding Retromodernisation ! Congratulations on a truly outstanding T2 rebuild !
My 73 looks just like that cept it’s on jack stands in a barn waiting wishing wondering the mice are not very productive. Great color,details I applaud your hard work
The side skirts detroy completely the style of this fine bus. For me it' s a absolut no go!!! Sorry, my english is not very good.
@damianraveryes, it's a great Job, but that's the way it is. A little thing that destroys everything. Sorry.
I totally agree that the sideskirts dont match the kombi style. Whilst watching the video, I couldn't help thinking that the skirts need a remodel but kudos to the builders. A labour of love. The nice thing is that is see the skirts are detachable so a remodel could be easily done to keep the "stock" look whilst also making it look lower and wider.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Haters gonna hate.
I think it's an awesome build!
great build, but why the side skirts?
One of the best builds of all time 😍😍
This Van FREAKING KILLER, I totally love it. If I had the money, I would either buy this one, or have one built for me.
What a build! my girlfriends parents just had a ej25 put into their Syncro van. but this build is out of sight. I would miss the bus steering wheel.
Mute volume before watching.
Can I borrow that for minute, I'm just going for a short drive, I promise ;)
Hi Ben and Leah! Happy travels!
Yeah that was a really great job. I love what you did with the interior as well.
I really want this camper!
Since you’ve modernized it, a better seats would’ve been perfect...

Yes Hand Built American Pride! The Ingenuity, Skills, Detail, Finish Product, Amazing! Being a Fine Woodworker, I appreciate it all. Congratulations! U guys nailed it. USA made Bro.

Best restomod VW
Impresionante!! Sin palabras!!!
Hi and give him this message for me." You good sir are a master craftsman and win the RUclips award for your master craftsmanship"... SIGNED a Guy with no patience to accomplish a project like that...
Молодцы !!! Очень большой респект мастерам!!!
Wow, what a beautiful feat of engineering...stunning
A credit to all those who worked on it,....brilliant.
This is Very nice i Love this Project!
Love the build of course, but your property up there in Washington is absolutely stunning!!!! Wow!!!
They made it a modern car and took out every bit of classic out of the interior. One thing I liked was how they made the engine fit in.
If you didn't notice I like classic cars. Yes I know it's not my car I'm just leaving my opinion and that's what all our comments are just opinions. Let's keep it civil thanks.
This build is too good that it deserves a full video
AMAZING!
That is an amazing build. If there was ever going to be a new type 2 this is what it would be like. It looks factory.
Extraordinary workmanship/beautiful bus.
