…without worrying about whether you’ll make it there and back.
No matter your style of adventure – from over-the-road #vanlife to weekend camping trips, we’ve got you covered.
Modern Bay Subaru Conversions, components, and kits help transform your vintage Volkswagen Bay Window Bus into a reliable, turn-key, modern machine.
Running a small shop with less overhead means more time and attention for each build. We make sure each system is not only perfectly dialed-in, but also beautifully implemented.
Even better? Our painstaking Subaru Conversions come at a price point that’s competitive with other providers on the market.
To keep our buses on the road dependably – as well as to safely keep up with modern traffic – we’ve engineered a system tailor-made to Bay Window Buses.
Our system leverages the legendary reliability of the Subaru platform to re-power our beloved VW Bay Window Buses on to countless new adventures.
The day after their bus was delivered, our very first clients loaded up the family and turned the key to an epic, 4,700 mile adventure across the US and back. They not only made it back in one piece, but they also made it back brimming with unforgettable memories.
Whether you’re looking for something to trek around the state or to #vanlife it and overland travel, we’d love to get you on the road to your next adventure.
So many of our most cherished family memories were made possible by our own magical, orange bread-loaf-of-a-1974-VW-Bus, Guanella.
Fourteen years ago, we drove Guanella away from our wedding with a foot of snow piled high on top and barely running on three cylinders.
Four kids, thousands of miles, and countless unforgettable memories later…
…here we are!
Our old girl has taken us from the Colorado Rockies to the sunny shores of California, Market Street in Seattle out to the Black Hills of South Dakota, and so many places in between.
We believe that by helping others experience some of the magic that we have adventuring with our old bus and creating unforgettable memories, we’re bringing something good into the world. One Subaru Converted Bus at a time.
