    185/80/15?

    I’ve seen you can get 185/80/15 or 185/15 tyres. Is anyone running these on the rear of the bus? I was thinking it would potentially help with the gearing and could look good if it was still possible to get the rear relatively low. Mines a late ‘71 so ‘72 model year with what I believe is bigger...

    Crossover Westy

    My first experience with camper vans was living in this bad boy for just shy of a year. That was about ten years ago when my only worries were if I had enough money to go to the pub. I've always been into old VW's, mainly water cooled though. Enter the now wife and my first major joint...

    WANTED Early Bay Tin Top Bus

    As title. Preferably a US import, either a microbus or camper. This is going to be our 'forever' bus so I want something solid which could be improved upon, but enjoyed in the meantime. I think the Mrs is warming to something that has a bit of 'history' on the patina front, but nothing too...

    Indicators are broke!

    I've had an ongoing problem with my indicators for a while now. At first I thought it was an issue with the hazard switch, but I replaced this and it still persists. Essentially they stopped flashing, but worked on constant. This has now progressed to not working at all unless you first turn...

    '70 Westy 'Hank'

    I recently bought Hank off here and am absolutely loving him! We went for our first trip this week to Silverdale (we thought we wouldn't venture too far at first) and would highly recommend the campsite. Unfortunately I forgot the camera, but had to take a few pics for the insurance when I got...
