It's already 1:20am here 2010 here we go!!! Hope every one has a great new year and all the bus restoes and trips come off successful. P.S. It was 39C here today which I think is 100 in your money. The beers are going down exceptionally well this evening.

I have finally made the move and attempted to install these. Now I've got the entire shootin match in bits, I realise that there is some parts missing. I think they are rubber seals (I need left and right). Does anyone know where I might find some? These were not fitted to early buses down here...

A mate of mine has set this up on Facebook, he makes a lot of the vids himself and also sources them from other places on this "interweb thing". http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Volks-Culture/36977604173?ref=mf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; You will need adsl or...

Over to you all. I'm 54 going on 19. The good thing about it is I can remember picking up a 69 Bus brand new from the dealer with my Dad. I was driving it on "L" plates in no time, took a couple of years before it was legal though. I was supposed to be 17 before getting on the road. Dad was a...

Here is a little vid of some of us. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. I did 3400km in the bus. left Thursday and was home on Tues. About 600 VWs and there minders meet up every two years in a NSW town called Nambucca Heads. Lotsa sore heads by Monday I can testify to that...

I though that we might have some fun with a thread of "On the road" pics. I'm not clever enough to have thought of this myself so credit where credit is due. This is thread on a pretty cool site based here in Melbourne. http://melburgluft.com/viewtopic.php?t=74&highlight= Here is a couple to...

Does anyone know what sort of timber they use for the slats on them? I've scored a 2.3 metre rack that I want to make into a similar style. I know its hardwood of some type but not which type specifically. I may end up using some recycled floor boards, they polish up a treat and are super tough...

After extensive research and years of gathering evidence, I think I've worked out what mine are for. DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands, so it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it...

My new DC project has a white dash. It was originally a white ute, but has had a 2minute blow over paint job sometime in the past. I really really like the dash as it is. My quandry is this: Was it colour matched to the car? I want to repaint the car but I am over white cars. So if I repaint it...

It seems that a European trip is being organised by my wife and me for next June, July and August, maybe even into September. Our plan is to pick up a T4 waterboiler Caravelle in Germany and travel to France to Italy and end up back where we picked up the bus near Kassel Germany. I'm thinking I...

Like it says all. Wishing you all the best for Christmas and a prosperous new year. Keep all those lights nice and low on yer trees now! David

Day one of the new Lobus project, the trip from where I bought it to home. I've got lots of plans for this but stage one will be to ge rid of the rust and replace it with nice fresh steel. I wonder how long before it ends up like this? I'm aiming at 12 months. I better...

Old Bar (N.S.W) 2007 Road trip report. (Day 1) I started off at 6:00am on Wednesday and managed to get through Melbourne and onto the Hume Highway without too much difficulty, although it would be a real drag to have to use that road every day, with the amount of traffic even the slightest...

This is all I can think of at the moment, there are some small faults as well and I will list them as I think of them. I can have it shipped to the UK with about 8 weeks notice. 9,000 Pounds delivered to your door. Currently it is located in Australia, if you want to pick it up here the price...

I bought myself this new toy. Where to next? IRS, adjustable front beam, here we go again! Sunroof is actually a pop top hole, I think I am going to weld that up.

I have got lovely set of Caravelle wheels to fit onto my T3, but I have hit a problem with the wheelstuds. They are not long enough as standard, and they are bolts this time. Do anyone here have a Caravelle witht he alloys that can help me out with the part number or specs of the longer bolts...

Here is a hypothetical situation. If a bloke was to come a loooong way to see as many VW shows as possible in the UK and maybe Germany and Spa for instance., and say he had about a month to do it in, what would be the best dates to arrive and get the most shows in? Not this year but next is...
