I returned from my deployment to find the bus wouldn't run, it didn't want to idle and ran very poorly. I thought some rust had settled in the tank over 6 months of sitting and got into the carb. I had to replace the front tin anyway, so I pulled the engine, replaced the tin and cleaned out the...

A week before I left for the middle east my VW club had their annual show I took the bus to. It didn't have a back seat when I bought it, and rather than trying to track down a nice early back seat or pay early back seat prices, I built an extended platform in the back, level with the rear shelf...

I had a 71 Kombi a few years ago, but I lost interest in it. At the time I was more into motorcycles. I'm still into motorcycles, but last summer I decided I wanted another bus. I was going to save up money for one during my deployment (I'm deployed to the middle east right now), but I found one...

Thank you so much!

There's an item on eBay I want to get for my bus, I've been looking for awhile and found it on eBay UK. Problem is the guy won't ship it to the states. Is there anyone in the UK that would be willing to get it and send it to me? The item is £40 plus shipping, I would send you more than that for...

Thought I would reintroduce myself. I had a 71 Kombi a few years ago that needed some work. I lost interest in it and sold it. But last summer I picked up a 71 Deluxe (71 is the best year), and have slowly been getting that put together. Pics can be seen in my signature link, but I'll post more...

Nice! I like that. Your bus has patina, and looks good. Mine is just rusty...

Thanks for trying though. I figured if I was just patient enough I'd end up on here someday.

Greetings from the states. Here is my 71 Kombi project I picked up in January. It's got plenty of rust in the front floor, the rockers, and under the windshield, but the rest of the bus is pretty solid. I'm going to have to learn to weld. I've got the engine pulled already, and finished cleaning...

Count me in for two.

Hello everyone. Early Bay fan from Indiana here. I've been trying to get on here for a few weeks, thanks to the sticky Johnny put up I finally got a hold of him and got my account activated. I've got a 71 Kombi, used to have a 79 Westy, but I sold it to fund the Kombi project. I also have a 72...
