    Rolling roaded!

    Yeah I’m sure those idas are a bit thirsty!! I think my bus does 20 mpg average. What hp and torque have you got there Karlos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rolling roaded!

    Nice figures! Good to see how they stack up - I would have expected around 100hp from a 1776 a la volksworld budget build - depends on spec I guess. Great torque profile though - that’s what makes all the difference! Mine is certainly v8 fuel consumption, the 40s are quite thirsty...

    Rolling roaded!

    Indeed, they are temporary hoses only. All the fittings are proper hydraulic with some meaty barbs unlike some of the brass crap about. One of the jobs to do before any more long runs, amongst new exhaust, quiet air cleaners and ditching the crappy hex bar linkage. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Canvas Opinions

    I really should have scrolled.. I asked this question today - this answers it! Looks though Wolfsburg west or custom and commercial win, depends on colour and availability. Tan is probably the way to go for me as yellow with an ultramarine blue bus and white roof is probably a bit loud!! I’d...

    Rolling roaded!

    At last I got the bus rolling road tested this week and it made a lot more hp than I was expecting! Novatech in Slough did the work and he’s a great chap. 1800 type 4 upright Cali cooling Industrial engine with unknown internals other than the big valve heads. Weber 40s and 4-1 exhaust. It...

    RHD Westy rear bed

    Hi all I have a South African imported rhd westy (s067/r) and I have some issues with the rear bed mechanism. Whilst looking at it I noticed as per my pictures the rock and roll bed seems quite different to others I’ve seen. I’ve not seen the box section nor the little toggle clips - anyone...
