[MOC] VW T1 Snowcat Adventuremobile

[Norton74]

Here I am with another Bulli. This time it's something really special.

An Austrian engineer recently retrofitted a 1966 VW Bus Bulli T1 with late-’60s Bombardier caterpillar tracks and a DJ sound system capable of causing an avalanche…

The Adventuremobile isn’t riding on wheels anymore; instead, the Bulli body has been placed on the chassis of a 1960 Bombardier B01 Spurgrat snowcat.

The T1 Snowcat can reach up to 30 mph (50 km/h) in the snow and when parked a DJ booth pops out of the freakin’ roof! Fresh mixes are bumped toward the crowd by way of a 1,000 watt subwoofer, 2 × 300 watt speakers, a five-channel Behringer mixer and a pair of Technics turntables.

Let's the party begin!

A vintage Ford of Germany Taunus V4 sends power to the left and right tracks via a transmission system that allows the van to move forward, backward, and spin on its own axis.

The T1 Adventuremobile version is often used by the ÖAMTC, which is the Austrian automobile association. Specifically, this Bus is being used by ÖAMTC’s youth outreach program, which dabbles in dispensing safe driving advice, travel planning services and other transportation-related informations.

It has been hard to make photos because the white bricks I used weren’t all new and some of them were yellowed. Also the black isn’t a easy color to shoot…

Anyway I took some pictures and I hope you enjoy.

What a unique building style you have there. Also a very unique and well executed model.

I love the brick built snowy field set. Especially the tracks the vehicle left in the snow along with the snow on the tree.

Wow. I just love everything about this.

All the components of the sound system in "DJ Mode" are fantastic, and the VW itself is great as well. The separate engine on the hoist is a fun addition, too. Bravo!

I like this a lot. It's good to see a build based on something unusual. And the attention to detail is great! As said earlier, the details of the snow are really well executed
