Agreed. Lockdown etc changed many peoples habits in different ways (mine included) and momentum has not been regained. The VW scene has also changed massively, its become much smaller and increasingly hardcore towards older rarer stuff, I think. The demise of Forums doesn't help either. FB...

Thanks Graham. Hope to catch up soon.

After the last few years of getting a small discount on weekend tickets to dsiplay, I was advised quite late on that we would get free passes to display. At this point it was too late to get it together, but all these elements impact (potential) attendance, and had we known, we could have got a...

Lovely. My Fasty was a B289 peppermint green dechromed custom that had been let go to seed a bit. I ended up replacing the front and rear valences and going through the whole car and then at that point I bought a lovely original Squareback of the estate of a (deceased) elderley man, so sold it...

Yeah, I’ve had a Ghia and a couple of Type 3’s and I would love a Razor. A guy who used to be on here selling one right now but they are another car that has gone up in value significantly. Those two show cars look amazing.

Glad its sorted. If you unbolt the dizzy on the fixing clamp and lift it out, you should be able to simply refit it without affecting the timing and it cant go back in 'wrong' due to the offset drive.

I had a look last night, yeah, its as K@rlos describes.

Yes. Standard beam, new standard dampers and the wheels which are temporary at the mo while I set things up. Left the adjustable spring plates on and just wound them up.

After mulling things over for possibly a couple of years now, I’ve had a tinker with the van. It’s a work in progress and there’s more to do, but, it was nice to take it for a run today.

Last time I just used an oversized repair stud kit. No drama.

The mounting studs for the heat exchangers are on the cylinder heads at the flywheel end of the engine, they also mount to the exhaust which is bolted on studs to the cylinder head - these will all require undoing/removing in order to change the heat exchangers, along with the heat exchanger to...

No, it should all be accessible with the engine in place. Only problems that may occurr is if a stud needs replacing which can be tricky in situ depending how its damaged. Do the prep by presoaking in PlusGas/WD40/Whatever in advance and maybe have a blowtorch handy to heat up the nuts if they...

There’s a band I like , Stone Foundation, this is one of the members from a picture today. Westfalia lads will get this. :)

For those taking a modern daily instead of an old aircooled it’s also worth checking for ULEZ charging.

I used these before for short term Euro breakdown. Never 'actually' used it though, so its hard to endorse as such https://www.heritagecarinsurance.co.uk/breakdown-cover/

It’s (left to fight*) Generator/Full beam/Sidelights/Oil. *left to right :D

Similar yes. I see Gary has some solutions :)

Isn’t that pretty much a seat back bracket/clip?

Late bays run 14" steel wheels (5 x 112) so, yeah.

Yes, and the transfer of the VWT tickets to Volksworld show also suggest an increased newer transporter attendance. Fair to say that if there’s not enough aircooled these days to fill it and pay its way then it has to diversify. I’ve stopped going to various events due to the focus on modern...
