    FS: drivers seat - pick up at Busfest

    Hey guys, I bought this drivers seat for my Earlybay as the idea was to make a rear facing buddyseat that was adjustable. I changed my plans so it's now up for grabs. I want £50 for it and can take it to Busfest. No delivery/postage possible as I live across the channel in the Netherlands...

    Curtain's the easy way..... Various materials :)

    The way you presented it this looks more like a 'How to' than a for sale ad. To me the easy way is buying a complete and already sewn set of curtains. Buying the materials from you and sewing it yourself is not the easy way if you ask me, because there's hardly anyone left that even owns a...

    sold!!!! Thankyou :)

    I have a similar one that I bought for my Mk1 Golf. Even at the maximum width it will still not fit on my van. But this one looks like it has extra extensions to give more clearance on both hight and width. So I might steal that idea to fit mine on the van. Thanks :D

    Sharing my frustrations

    Hi Guys, I'm getting fed up with my van. I've been having trouble for over a year now with the engine cutting out. I've tried evertything and have replaced everthing. I have no clue where to look anymore. The problem is that at some point when the engine is warm it starts to stutter and a bit...

    Aircooled Helpline Europe

    I came across a Facebook site that is meant to help Aircooled owners when they break down in Europe. I thought it was a good idea especially because I drive my van all over Europe and am going to Busfest in a few weeks time. It's always good to know that there is someone close by in case you...

    Plasti-dip and Foliatec spray foil

    Has anyone heard of and/or tried Plasti-dip or Foliatec spray on foil? it's a rubber spray that can be sprayed on anything really, but I'm talking about the set to paint your rims. I think it's a great idea so I bought a set for about £45. It should be enough for 4 rims and If the result is not...

    Early bay fish tank

    I'm watching Fish Tank Kings on Nat Geo Wild and they are transforming an Earlybay into an aquarium. I would definitely like to have it in my living room. http://natgeotv.com/ca/fish-tank-kings/galleries/volkswagen-fish-tank/9

    Fitting a Rusty Lee Rock n' Roll bed

    Hi guys, While I was at busfest this weekend I bought an R&R bed from Rusty Lee. I read that they are great quality and easy to fit. Momentarily I am having some some trouble with the 'easy' part. Since everybody else fits these in 10 minutes i'm probably a dumbass. Maybe you can help me on my...

    Overriders for sale. Powdercoated and with new rubbers

    As the title says I have a pair of overriders for sale. I had them freshly powdercoated along with my bumpers but decided not to fit them to my bus anymore. Also refurbed them with new bump rubbers and rubber trim around the inner edges and new bolts. They look like new, but one of them does...

    Extra Vent windows, How to fit them...

    There shouldn't be one on the right back window. If you were to open it the sliding door would hit it, so that's why there is a one piece window there. You probably could cut a window but you would have to be very precise and carefull. Easier to buy the original size glass. Good luck, putting...

    Indicator wiring question

    Hey guys, My bus is almost ready for MOT but I'm still fussing around with the electrics. Most of the electrics work now, but I can't get the indicators to work. The PO cut the entire loom that goes towards the indicator handle on the steering wheel. In this loom there are 8 cables, but my...

    Help! Need an intake manifold for a 34PICT3 carb

    Does anyone have an intake manifold to fit a 34PICT3 carb on top for a twin-port engine. The one that came off my old 1600 engine doesn't seem to be the right one. The end where the carb goes on is 54mm from heart to heart on the bolt holes. It needs to be 70mm for a 34PICT3. Does anyone have...

    Mai Käfer Treffen Hannover - Pics

    Hey guys, Last sunday I visited the yearly beetle show in Hannover, Germany. I believe this was the 28th time it was organised and it is one of the biggest if not THE biggest aircooled event in Germany. It is a one day event and it is so big that you can't see it all in one day really. 1000+...

    Fusebox fixings

    Does anyone have a picture of how the fusebox is supposed to be fixed on the underside of the dash. I already used the search and found out that it is attached with a bracket, but my fusebox is hanging from the wires and I don't see a bracket or anything to fix it to. Therefore a picture would...
