    WITHDRAWN - 1970 Westy for sale

    After 10 years of having a great time at shows and camping, we are looking to sell our camper. The kids have got too big! She is LHD and had been imported from Ramona in San Diego County, California. Since I've owned her she has been maintained with no expense spared. We have upgraded or...

    Replaced the old engine with a Reconditioned 'Turnkey' engine from VW engine company. Went with a 1600 twin port.

    Front arches were replaced while she was in for the new beam. And the front was repainted as I wasn't completely happy with it.

    Haven't updated in a while, few things to add on here. Got a new beam to lower the front a bit.

    Cutting out for the first 10 minutes...

    Ok so it's sorted out. Turns out the carb wasn't up to the job. Got a new one fitted, bought it from Heritage (made in Brazil). Now it doesn't cut out at all.

    It's a 34 PICT 3. Funny you say that I was reading about the choke last night. I haven't adjusted it, maybe the coil inside needs turning to close the butterfly valve. Or it could be not working at all. I'll have a look and do some checking when I warm it up.

    Yes that's clear. Flushed the petrol tank too, so very little crap in it now.

    Cutting out for the first 10 minutes...

    So, the bus is starting first time and running at idle. I wait on the drive for a few minutes. Then I drive for 5-8 minutes and it cuts out when I stop at junctions. I stop, wait a bit and carry on and it doesn't cut out anymore. As it doesn't do it after a while, I guess it rules out a problem...

    Different size tyres front and rear

    Yes, not a bad idea, safer to let them know.

    Different size tyres front and rear

    I’m getting some new tyres, and found out something interesting. According to my local tyre garage, my insurance might be invalid if I have larger size tyres on the rear and smaller tyres on the front. Anyone know if that's right? Maybe that counts as non standard. I've had 185/65/R15 on the...

    1970 Westy resto

    Recently I went down to see Leon at Concept pop tops in Poole for a new interior for the bus. I based the design on a car I've always loved since I was a kid - the Ford GT Think I need to change the Cath Kidston laminate now. The old drivers seat was knackered, luckily Leon had a mint one...

    Need Trimmer in Surrey/hampshire

    Thanks, they both look promising, Poole's not far. I'll give them a call. :)

    Need Trimmer in Surrey/hampshire

    Yes I thought that too. I asked him if I could leave the seats with him and he said he has to have the bus there. Maybe trimmers prefer to have the bus to get a good fit :?
