Picked the bus up two weeks ago. [img
The crushed velvet interior is in the bin.

The previous owner had fixed it in place with a thousand rivets.

I spy somthing interesting looking behind the bus aswell

I had a look at the engine on the VW today.. 2 litre CU code engine with twin dellorto carbs.

 

Has ur bus had rear valance removed then?

 

Welcome dude, we have only had our bus 6 months so still a newbie and a complete novice. I have been made very welcome here and have been given loads of good advise along with the already existing resource hidden away on the forum.

If your ever struggling to find anything just ask and there is always someone around who can find it for you.

Robo...

 

Thanks Robo, this is the best site I can find for VW info And thanks to all who have given their valuable knowledge.
I'm guessing that I'm not alone finding it tough to work in the freezing cold raining miserable weather so..I've found a workshop and rented it.. Just need to move the bus to it's new home and crack on with the resto.

 

Hi there, lots of pics please.
