oh boy time are going fast. i'll guess i need a bit of updating here Well, my garage is finished, at least outside part from carpenter. We agreed that i would do all the work inside. So i have totally isolated it, put on some 15 mm birch plates, and wired the cables for 220 and 380V (still...

Just got the custom and commercial mag today and instantly reading the article about your cool westy. The Centerfold are getting into the garage, so i can be inspired when i work on my own 68 westy. I noticed that you are a friend of Mario Inclan, i also got my bus from this guy and can highly...

Hey there I promised you a picture of the finishes result. We'll i quickly did the sink and folding tables. But i can't finish it right now as the top of the spice rack it totally destroyed and can only be used as a pattern, so it waits a bit. And the left folding table is waiting for me...

Hello Peter So you are also hanging around on this great site for earlybay aficionados :-) Well, guys, here we have a true innovator, when you like Peter stops counting ribs on your bus gearboxes and instead look at the type1 and 3 shelfs, then you have a lot of possibilities to make an...

Hey I once had a problem with my bus, that every time i stopped, it went out. (It did idle ok). After a lot of swapping carburettors i finally found the problem... it was my inlet manifold that was totally blocked in the small pipes. I changed it for a brand new one, and all problems with...

Hey Did you find any faults in the electrics? Normally, you don't need chokes. Ok, you have some cold winters in Finland ! I used to run a set of Weber 36 dcnfs on a 1600 type 1, never connected the chokes. Usually after a minute it was running smooth. just take one problem at the time...

Little update Haven't done much on the bus, ok been gluing the sink furniture and ordered T-molding* for that and the rest of the furnitures. Well, then it's good my carpenter been busy in the backyard, this is how the new garage looks like now, really looking forward to the coming week, might...

Hi there Just bought 36 ft from Chewie Baker. Thanks for recommendation! I'll show you a picture of the sink when it's done. Ronnie

Hi there As i read your description i think your engine is ok. If i had that problem i would start by checking the electrics, have you made a failure when switching fusebox?. First give you battery a charge over night, if you don't have a charger, by the cheap one in Biltema, it's ok. Then...

Ok, i'm convinced ! I've just made an account at ssvc forum, and will get in touch with mr chewie asap. Now i just hope he has some left. i'm in the area of 35 feet needed(for all three furnitures) Thanks! Ronnie

Thanks :D Ronnie

You're right on Popcorn Balls, if Chewies are the closest to original, and you say good for them, then i must try to find him. HipShaker, The ones at Reprowesty also looks to be the right colour. I'm glad I asked here..it seems there are other alternatives than Gowesty. Not that I have...

Thanks for info. That's some price diff. 1£ pr m at Rainbow Conv. and appx 3£ at Chewie.(if 3 foot = 1 m) Thanks for pic of furniture. Actually i have measured all lenghts, just need to make a drawing and get it on here. But in total i think its over 5 meters..gotta find those notes. Ronnie

Faux; Thanks a lot for that info with the early model, that makes sense. Maybe you noticed that my bowl is not as deep as yours? Could i ask you to take some pics of the left and right tables, someone chose to replace the og hinges and screw them on top instead of the side, off course i want...

Yes, there is a hole under the sink furniture. The water from the drip tray (in icebox) was led out through this hole. In the campmobile brochure from 68' it is stated that the sink have a drain. Somewhere i read that the og sink often cracked over time, so i'll guess people replaced that by...

Does anyone have a good source to buy new tee moldings in correct colour. Think i need for all the furnitures, so its some meters in total. I've seen GoWesty has some, but is in Us and might end up being very expensive, as our danish customs want's a part of the cake, when ever it's outside EU...

Question; It seems like the sink in my 'sink furniture' have been replaced by some stainless steel, with no water outlet (drain). But when i look down under, there is no place for an outlet?? Thanks ! Ronnie

Here's my daily driver. (as my Toyota is sick at the moment) 65' doubledoor, straightaxle, dropped spindles old 1600 fire engine easy driver. Ronnie Denmark.

Thanks, for your words :mrgreen: Working outside !!! yes, only in summertime please..all that ******' rain in dk .. . used to rent a 60 m2 garage..took me months to move all the stuff....gotta try to keep it down.. Besides the dent in rear left corner and bad repair on sliding door, i...

Yes, i hope my garage ends up being something to be jealous over, haha. I've been into VW's since the mid nineties, and always rented garages far from home, so finally getting a garage in my backyard is a bit of a dream coming through. Both my 65's splitty and my 56' oval(just sold to...
