my bus

I'm diggin' the bumper! Mark Detro Englewood, FL

...yeah I thought that was pretty sweet as well..

I digging the extra gages, you know I have to bust on you Jan. Are they stock euro, my 67 westy doesn't have them. Damn you guys get all the good stuff. oh and I bet thats been converted to 12v.

nice bus wish mine was that nice.

Mario

heh, thanks.. it's unfinished, just welded together for now.. made out of an Oval beetle rear bumper. I could use a few more pieces to extend it a little further towards the rear on each side.

Jan

just saw the interior pictures, how did THAT pass inspection? The mini disco ball is positive points, but the clashing seat colors.. that's an immediate denial in most locales.

HAHAHA :D

Jan

I dig the disco ball. I need one of those for my bus.

I mail ordered a motor for it but it hasn't arrived... this was in June I think...

I have some led lights ready for it, one that even rotates 3-4 different colors.. not much bigger than my thumb..

Jan

The engine is awesome. Just perfect for the bus. 2 liter type 4 with a street cam and Dual Dells. 4th gear pulls from 25MPH up to 95MPH and beyond... with reduction boxes...

Jan

Hey Jan I think I get 95mph in my 67 westy with 74 1600dp, and boxes.

Mario

No idea, there's no tach :)

Jan

It's possible.. but if I'm not mistaken, a 67 no longer had redux boxes? I got 115MPH out of a 74 beetle, with a 69x88slip ins and Engle W110 :) (And plenty of compression) and it was not with the long 3:88 rear diff

Jan

so what are you saying? VW decided to send all the outdated setups here.

all the 67's I've seen has had redux boxes

Mario

It's so easy: All the T1s (Splitties) have reduction boxes, and none of the T2s (Bays) have. It might be a good idea to refer to a Bay built in October, 1967, as a '68 -- that's its model year.

Airhowlingly yours, Erik.

Disco ball! How about a little Marimekko in the back... (jk :)

That's a mean machine, Jan.

Ohh... I didn't know. I'm not that good with buses. Live and learn :) Thanks

Jan

I love it. Hate to see it go :(

Someone is coming over Monday to see it, intending to buy it. WAAAAAAAH!!! :(

He doesn't want the engine. Too expensive, too much to handle for a newbie. Plus it's illegal to the car, at the moment.

Instead I promised to build him a good stock 1600 for the bus, my normal list price. (Which is dirt cheap for the labor part) There's some other loose ends and bits and pieces I promised to help him with.
