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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

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.

There's a couple of bits that are your taste and not mine, (skirts, auto gearbox, wheels and Splitscreen indicators) but overall, the standard of build is exceptional, and it looks fantastic, I especially like the bespoke VW Turbo badges and the chassis sections that you made for to fit the engine and box, and the bolts for the interior, and the interior itself looked like vw had made it especially, good job ;) It must have helped a lot starting with a pretty mint shell in the first place though, I couldn't believe it when you stripped the paint and there was still metal underneath, that doesn't happen here in the UK unless its been dry stored it's entire life... :-D
