Long time ago . . . . it's time to sell Lefty

It's time for something new and therefore time to say goodbye to my old trusted, loved and Low Volkswagen T2a Deluxe (aka Lefty on this forum) from 1969. A great nice, well-driving 'head turner'! More info in my thread http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48447 (Sorry for the missing...

'Nameless' before (2011) Why it's named Lefty . . . Lefty now . . .

Great pics Pieter, I've 'borrowed' 2 of it in my thread ;-)

Last month did some small things on Lefty. Made a simple carpet on the floor (little more soundproofing) and searched for the oil leak. The oil hose underneath the bus seems to be greasy. After all I've decided to bring it to a local specialist Oldtimerparts.nl. They checked the engine and oil...

You crazy Wizzard! :mrgreen:

Pfieuw . . .long time ago! Stil driven with the borrowed engine, but need to solve the engine problem. We already took the 1835 apart and it seems there's some damage which gonna cost a lot of money :cry: One of the biggest issues is that both heads have an ugly crack. Last weeks (or...

No, we towed it to a place somewhere in The Hague. It was a pretty busy on the roads in Schevingen, so we've taked a touristic route over bumpy and small roads ;-) This evening I'll drive back to The Hague with a trailer and pick it up.

Yesterday my mates surprised me (and that's an understatement)! They had build in another engine to get me at Schevingen with Lefty. I was speechless! My brother (wo was also involved in the surprise-action) made a time-lapse from the engine swap with his camera . . ...

You did a great job on that roof, nice van!
