Needs a new fan belt though

Hi bnam, The bay looks good, nice and clean, sounds like you’ve put in a fair bit of work. Are there a lot of type 2’s out there?

Thanks 👍🏻 What did I do wrong? Should it be img not url?

Could also be a broken hinge, or coming undone, or the wood rail in the fiber glass section that the hinges screw into can rot as well and the hinge comes loose at the top. All possible. Where’s the photo’s

Hey everyone, not new but been away a longtime. Good to be back though, got a 71 westy, from New Jersey. Not been used since 94, so I’ve got “stuff “ to do. 🤪😄

Jay, that's a bummer man! Hope things get better, why did you get rid? Cheers Ben.

So did it all go to plan 36 hours in & out? Have you got pictures, we need pictures.

124 hours at his rate of £30 per hour = £3720 in labour which i would say is more like it, but £30ph is very cheap if it comes in at that you've done very well! I guess their overheads are low. I notice your list says outer sills, usually if the outers are shot, so are the inners, and usually...

Ps it is unfortunately just a cas of phoning around to see whos got genuine panels in stock, you should try Just Kampers, VW Heritage and Alan Schofield between them you should be able to get a full set of genuine panels. It's pointless buying repros they are very rubish and half the thickness.

I would say that's a very optimistic quote on time for that list of jobs and £30 per hour is very cheap for restoration work, i can't imagine how they will be able to stick to that pricing. Also is this actually a quote or is it an estimate they are very different things, and i don't know...

Ok they'll be 9mm, thanks anyway bud

Milky which rocker assemblies have you got, 1.7L 8mm adjusters or 2L 9mm? Cheers Ben.

Hi, i'm after some type IV bits here's a list: 1.7L cylinders (no pistons needed) 1.7L heads ('Q' castings ideally, complete with rockers) 2L crankshaft Or alternatively a 'W' code 1700 long block (complete engine minus all ancilliaries and tinware) Let me know if you have any of these...

Hi, have you still got the type IV engine? If so can you tell me what code it is please, and where you are for collection? Cheers Ben.
