    DOOR CARDS (AGAIN)

    Hi Glen, don't know if this was the thread but I recently made my own door cards: http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21891 Can't answer whether the imported doors would be the same but I would have thought so. I just used hardboard that I got from B&Q - cheap and cheerful. It's only...

    Rear bumper help - sizes???

    looks like you did the reverse of what I did if I understand correctly? 72s had a wider chassis so the mount holes are in a different place. I bought a 72 bumper which doesn't fit my 70 tho I've since got hold of the right one. I've still got the finished 72 rear if you're interested? Am...

    info on sound deadening

    during course of my research I found this site: http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi has some quite useful info on it and products don't seem too pricey but then you have to ship from the States.

    Anyone from Bristol going to Volksworld?

    If so can I be cheeky and ask a favour? ;) I can't make it and I'd like to get my firetec extinguisher off Graham @ Midland Earlybay. If you're going is there a chance you could pick up for me and I can collect next week? No worries if not as I'll make a trip up to Solihull. Thanks

    had the bug for more time than I can remember! Had my van since I was 18 - 1992 (first car) and still got it. Only 2nd owner (well technically my mum was registered keeper for a bit). It was off the road for a few years until I got the money together to restore it and now I'm slowly getting...

    For sale: 72 rear bumper

    I bought a 72 bumper and had it finished before realising that it won't fit on my 70 :oops: So, rather than try and get it to fit, I've now got hold of the correct one I need so have this straightened and painted one going. Only thing I would say about it is for some reason the holes are...

    engine cleaning

    I picked my van back from the paint shop where it had been for a couple of weeks. When I fired it up it sounded really off and 'thick' with not much power. It took a little time but it did warm up and drive ok. When I got it home I ran it for a bit and also ran it the next day. Loads of...

    my weekend and questions...

    thanks guys, I was thinking square too. Funny tho, never noticed the GOSH - Liking it :D Re the bracket, should the bent bits go back like this then: or should it be attached the other way round? Do I really need it?? Not sure where it came from as it doesn't seem to be from it originally...

    I knew this was around somewhere....found it under my son's cupboard. The interior has gone as has the remaing side door...not too bad considering it's been through about 4 or 5 boy's hands over the years! This is a Matchbox series #34 volkswagen camper reg MG-M515 looks like it's been lowered...

    my weekend and questions...

    had a productive weekend and managed to get a couple of things done. Had some hardboard lying around left over from stuff I got that I'm using as a temp cargo floor so thought I'd have a go at making some cab door cards as I have 1 original left over. Didn't come out too bad considering my...

    1968 Dormobile child bunk measurements.

    Here's mine - as Loxy's - from a 70 (H reg): Has anyone (loxy ;) ) got a pic of how the end with the hole in fits? The plates that they sit on have been taken off and I'd like to see how they fit. Cheers
