i'm camping in my latebay say hello if you see me - brown champagne westy.

auto's wern't an option on earlies they only came on t4 engined vans, you may find one on a crossover if it has a t4 engine but it will be the vacumn 003 box and your 77 would have an 010.

plenty of lubrication such as waxoil spray works, don't use washing up liquid it has salt in, how are you struggling?

depends on the quality of the respray and how hard the paint was they used, i had a few areas in primer and rattle can which i wanted to see what was under, i got it off with a scotch pad with thinners on, i've heard oven cleaner works too, to be honest you'll have to try an area that's...

I haven't pm'd anyone as yet because as i say i'm only putting the feelers out right now and would need to sort out the funds so if someone was "desperate" to sell i wouldn't want to mess then around if that makes sense?

nice offer and it's only 9 days off my birthday! But, i don't want one that's being sorted by someone else i'm looking for something like an import that's been sat a while etc, kind of like the stuff midland early bay bring over with no engine that's solid but needs work, also without sounding...

I'm only putting the feellers out just incase anyone has what i'm after as i need to be quite specific and i'm not in a rush. Must be a 1968 van as i want one the same age as me. (May 1968 would be awesome) Must be a microbus not a panel conversion. Must be rot free chassis and main panel wise...

as said, it's more than likely a sunroof bus with a late roof, the front hinge was the only option on an early, that roof has been retro fitted - anything is possible the roof itself is the same on all bays just depends on your fabrication skills.

i imported mine myself so i was the 1st owner.

V888 form and £5 gets you a list of all previous owners - good if your bus has always been uk registerd - nt much point if it came from the u.s.

yes plenty of people who don't understand the system will do this, particularly if an aftermarket airfilter has been fitted and the pipe isn't used - what should happen if a different airfilter (such as pancake ones on twin carbs etc) is a hole needs to be drilled into the top and the pipe fed...

that's exactly what they are, they are to help the fuel vapours condense and be sent as vapour into the air intake, you must have all the breather system working correctly for safety and also to stop petrol smells, the system is not designed to be closed and should be able to breathe so as to...

i'm not sure but graham from midland early bay would know, he's on here and his company is one of the site sponsors give them a shout?

not good news, i can be round in a few hours with a trailer and a nice crispy tenner if you like?

you could fit a propex and just pipe it into the totem, if you have no exchangers then block the totem off under the belly pan so it only has a short run, lovely and toasty!

it is actually a grey area, the law states that lighting can be how it was "when manufactured" if you can prove this was the case then you could convince the tester if he had the ride that morning and was in a good mood, this could prove difficult with a vw though but they pass american cars...

I know i'm a latebay but it's true the dvla can't be arsed with dates, i imported mine and provided build date off the m-plate of 6/3/78 and also a birth certificate from vw, the dvla put date of manufacture down as 1/1/78 on my v5.

on here real on evil bay fake scam

saw that on ebay earlier and remembered i'd seen it here - reported.

one week to go if anyone fancies it - infact 6 days....
