Hello all, Just joined and thought I'd get a thread up to show progress of my new bus NORMAN, just getting a good bit of tlc and upgrades at the moment, until I can afford to sort the paint out! As I bought it
Plans and box of bits to fit to Norman Oil (20w/50) mineral New strainer Magnetic sump nut New rocker gaskets New dizzy and rotor arm K&N filter Hot start relay Uprate battery to 096 76ah diesel battery Replace fan belt Replace fuel filter and fuel pipes (already done) New dual mount front aerial New CD player with 10 disk changer New seals which are missing from louvred window in rear Full leisure/230v hookup Repair pop top which has had a couple of bits repaired with standard filler and has cracked Hand paint gutters Electric washer motor Etc etc etc
Looks good. I like the wheels and the colour. Made a list of things to do 7 years ago but it never ends and just gets bigger. Enjoy the ride.
No 1641cc, the parts to fit box keeps getting fuller! I need the old scrolled Volkswagen badge for the tailgate, where can I get one for an economical price?
Welcome . Very nice van. Rear badges are pretty cheap from the usual suspects. Failing that someone always has some at vw shops in the flea market areas.
There's a thread for Moonrakers - Norman belongs on it! http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/devon-moonraker-appretiation-thread.20699/ Welcome!
£16 here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-type-2...CarParts_SM&hash=item35c6885fe0#ht_768wt_1045 JK one is about £25
Looks very nice, great to see another Moonraker on here As LC says, they didn't originally have the Volkswagen script on the back, but had one of these instead:
I can see the plugs in the tailgate so I thought it would be or that or a bike rack. I don't have a top engine hatch either? Thought all the late bays had them?
Not all - my last didn't, but surprised yours doesn't being based on a kombi. Maybe has had a replacement panel?
You mean like this? Picked this up a few years ago after the bus was painted, but still haven't put it on..I'll see if I can look up where I got it from..
