In times we did a lot of engine rebuilding and engine tuning we needed a test bed for our performance packages… we did this in sponsoring Geert Mommen race beetle in the VW Kevercup… long endurance trails to prove a lot of reliability… we used to be real fast, but not successful, only to late to find out the engines had been good enough but the used oil was the problem of a weekly engine rebuild!
Back then it was the worst, now we just see it as part of the experience that grew us to what we have become today…
BBT Rules!
Koen is an assigned Beetle lover who has spent all his hard earned money to nothing more or less than acquiring, restoration and driving his Beetles. This 1969 model Beetle came in @ the BBT workshop in 2003 for some minor finishing welding jobs. Once we started to inspect the works that were done, we discovered something went wrong while someone previously made the job as a friends service to Koen. The whole body was thorn and when we placed the body on a chassis, the gap between body and chassis was about 50 mm. Hard to seal with the original style body seal… The rear apron and rear boot floor were fit in to tight and made the engine bay about 60 mm smaller… We even didn’t tried to fit in an engine.
The whole welding job has been done all over again. Koen’s love for this Beetle was so big, he didn’t even think about the fact to leave the project and track another Beetle. The previously done welding job has been done all over again with even bigger NOS panels to prevent to end up with a patchwork body. Lots of NOS panels have been used while doing the job, in that time it wasn’t that hard to obtain the correct NOS panels @ reasonable prices to do the job.
After 2 years we could hand over a whole new 1969 Beetle to Koen and he pampered his Bug since than until last Weekend… A roll-over made an end to this beautiful story and Koen is now on a quest for another body.
Because of our reputation BBT is asked frequently to handle very special transports, this case is nothing else…
Some countries have very strict import regulations, this customer wanted us to dismantle and crate some cars before shipping over different seaport to his wide overseas destination. as BBT is close to the harbor we let two exotic VW’s crate in all separate parts in two three massive crates… total weight is close to three tons!
So the crates await the vessel in our warehouse now, so You see BBT can transport whatever automotive, to whatever destination.
