info_outlineSometimes you meet people that have been in the scene so long that the effect that they've had and the cars they've built ripple on for quite a while. That's the case with Walter Jelinek. Walter started the Bug box in 1994 but his story starts before that. As a kid in Germany, seeing a lot of cool Volkswagens and stumbling across his first Vw trans magazine that got him hooked. Then Walter has been known for constantly doing something unique and different from one of the first original patina cars the Lindy Bus to re-creating a full-size version of the sand scorcher an RC car built by Tamaya in the 80s. He's been recognized in the hobby in Europe for quite a few years. Then onto to build some of the Atwater buses finding three that exist. These were very unique tourist version VW buses that had extended roofs with plexiglass panels. Owning a restoration shop for several years and then finally having to take a break after a few years the scene brought him back, not wanting to have a big shop again. He currently manages and facilitates peoples restorations in his one man shop. He's constantly onto new endeavors, finding challenges that are very difficult with the commitment to quality to make some of the best parts on the market. His page razor skin makes the replacement lower rocker panels for type 34 gears that are almost an exact match. If you want it done right you've got to use the bug box, as now he focuses mainly on original restorations and real unique cars. He still accustomed guy at heart. This is a long one because there's a lot of history here.
