I drove dad’s 1970 tin top for a few years and quite a few highway trips on passenger tires as a poor teenager. They suck! My 71 has proper C rated commercial tires and it rides like my Tacoma

lots of people running the chinese diesel heater https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=727273&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=220&sid=f8789ac334e8d52989d4f7dfd9d47e69 mine was mounted in a thin cabinet behind the passenger seat, there was already a hole for the water drain in the...

our local street machine weekend car show, lot of fun and a ton of questions from people 3 bays and a vanagon this year

I used a T3 hatch out of a parts car for my 71, the firewall comes out easily from behind the EJ2.5, so I have access to the tank area

two things with the module: the wires are short to try to put the module under the dash, and buy a decent crimp tool, and ends. Even if I use the crimp with the plastic end, I pull them off and shrink wrap the end instead. Those things are just cheesy looking

intermittent wiper switch upgrade https://www.revolutionelectronics.com/Products/vw-int-wiper/ H4 headlights, LED bulbs. I do have a Winterburn CDI and CB black box on my type 3 with a 1968cc motor and it has been a nice improvement for drivability with the Dellortos and not having chokes...

3 for us, the wife's first car 73 super 2110cc, my 65 square 1968cc I've had 15 years, and the 71 Westy EJ2.5 the furkids sidecar doesn't count

I’m not confident in the bar design to hold up the pillow section of the bed on the early bay. I tried bending up a bar to use the two holes that already were in the roof. There’s just not enough space for a decent support I was trying to figure a way to support it from the bottom,but have...

I used the stock light and sanded down a couple cob led lights to fit inside and got the best of both worlds they even come with the adapters https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00J23EA2K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1

i had a brand new repop switch not work out of the box, no connection on terminal 50. I spent 2 days looking for a bad connection in my Subaru swap, only to find the switch was the problem

honestly for 2300 i wouldn't expect much, they would be using used parts and cobbling it together. We bought one "rebuilt" engine once, never again, we learned to build our first 1600cc from the old bug me videos, and a collection of forum info, then i drove a buddies 2110cc and I was hooked...

I bought one of these steering couplers last year because they are advertised as just like the German OEM, well they are not I've been driving my bus for a month now and the steering has felt mushy, and you can feel the give when cranking on the wheel when stationary I ended up ordering a Lares...

Have the carbs ever been jetted for your motor? or did you stick them on and it ran so you used them? putting an O2 sensor on it and logging your air/fuel mixture would tell you if you are rich or lean in all areas or the rpm range and engine loads. I had a buddy that set his up and we put...

I had 2 steering wheels and shafts that came with my bus in the parts pile , I tried heat, impact , penetrating oil, pullers, etc. the only thing that got it off both shafts was the cutting wheel. Too much corrosion between shaft splines and wheel hub

What about behind the seat access? I fitted the stow and go middle seats from a Chrysler minivan , you do have to make some seat brackets but they come with their own sliding track and they fold flat, or down to the steering wheel in the driver side

Could be heat soak, Where is the fuel filter? My type 3 used to be hard to start when warm, I put a pressure gauge inline and checked it after shutdown and every 10-15 minutes after. The pressure kept going up as the heat rises off the engine. I switched to an electric pump under the tank and...

dometic 50l fridge, stainless bar sink, 2- 4 gallon jugs for water. Bazpo water faucet, and submersible water pump. We went portable with the stove, it fits on the countertop or set it outside on a table.https://jetboil.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/shop/stoves-systems/genesis-basecamp-system

Basically monitor the gauges while normal driving (whatever that is ) when that reading changes by a lot, then worry. Definitely check that temp gauge they can be all over the place, mine was 20 degrees F high
