ICON's Jonathan Ward profiles a VW Bus they've brought bang up to date, while still keeping it looking completely in period.

The whole point of a derelict is to blend in and have a good time. To enjoy life. Not only are we working to further enable the user by reengineering the vehicle to have more modern functionality and enhanced utility, we also sort of trying to create a moment in time, a safe zone. If you have a modern luxury car there are so many preconceived notions today. Everything things: he's a this or he's a that or she's all about the money. You just get beyond all that noise, all that nonsense. If anyone even notices this bus, they're going to smile. They're going to get positive vibrations, thumbs up, good feelings.
