A Volkswagen Bus restoration at Overland Imports begins in Brazil, where we hand-pick the right Brazilian Kombi or split-window bus and document its history. From there it's a methodical, body-up rebuild — because a VW Bus hides its troubles in the rockers, floors, and seams, and only a real restoration sets them right.
Fifteen years and dozens of buses have taught us exactly where these vehicles need attention. We restore them to drive, to last, and to look the way you imagined when you first fell for the shape.
We select the right bus in Brazil ourselves — the deepest pool of Kombis on earth, full provenance.
Down to bare metal. Floors, rockers, and seams inspected honestly — restore or replace.
Rust cut out and replaced with correct panels; the body made straight and sound.
Single-tone or classic two-tone, finished to a depth that does the shape justice.
Engine, brakes, electrics, and a cabin trimmed to your taste — period or refined.
Imported under full federal compliance, US-titled, and delivered to your door.
Each bus is built to order. The figures below are representative starting points — final pricing confirmed per build.
A full Volkswagen Bus restoration typically runs about 8–14 months depending on body style, rust and originality, and parts availability. Split-window buses sit at the longer end due to trim complexity. Timeline confirmed once specs are locked in.

Yes. Buses 25 years and older qualify under the federal 25-year rule. We import under full compliance and deliver the vehicle US-titled and ready to register.

Bring us the dream — Kombi or splitty, mild or wild. We'll source it, restore it, import it, and hand you the keys.
