My boyfriend can't stand mike brewer, but we both agree edd's a good egg. Saying that thought I really do prefer car SOS, yes yes it's all scripted and really silly but at the end of the day it's for really deserving people who love their cars even when they are proper sheds and wrecks

Not all vehicles are declared scrapped especially if they were chopped up for panels. Being a business they should have... I bought several vehicles from them, especially beetles when they were cheap so there is hope someone bought it and it's languishing in a garage somewhere. All the good...

I am not 100% but I think I saw it in docaster (volksheaven) I was aregular visitor for veedub parts and they had probably 100 plus old vw's parked up. They no longer run unfortunatly. What model was it from memory it was a beige microbus with the roof cut out for a wrag top

Hiya did you sell it in the end?

I would say more around 12k especially with it being a left hooker but I am a yorkshireman when I think or say owwwwwwwwwwww much! No ta... Saying that what's it worth to you? If you want peace of mind of no major rot then maybe it's worth it.

Hiya nice early bay I would say 12,000 minimun a little more if someone falls in love with it, a UK RHD I would have said 15,000 but that's only really an estimate as not seen it. Good luck with it and hope it finds a loving home

There are a lot of con artists on ebay which is reflected in the missguided prices you see. There are also a lot of poorly Bay's out there that need a full restoration and the cost outweighs buying one already done properly, so safe to say save up and buy the best one you can afford. You do get...

I've been busy, finished just before the heaven's opened

Been looking for an oil bath filter but they are quite thin on the ground it seems. I wipe it down when is been one a long journey as it's reward... I also say thank you and kiss the steering wheel 👍 When it's been particularly good I buy it a nice trick item or upgrade 😜 I am a...

I got the 39 pict from Nottingham's air-cooled hut and fitted this morning. Cleaned it out with carb cleaner and was very straight forward. Took it to the garage for emissions check to see if set up okay and needed richening up a bit. It drives really well, I think it's a big improvement on the...

I've never really looked closely at a mexican bus, I had a mexican bug and might have just been lucky but it was spot on and ran like a dream. Sometimes I think luck plays a part. Maybe it was just badly maintained at some point. Trouble is air-cooled engines are starting to get very...

I have fitted a new carb and it's better than the Weber, it's a big bore 39 pict and actually goes really well I also removed the pop top canvas ready for its new one (Don't do it in flip flops like I did, bloody staple in me foot na)

Thanx mate the only thing that puts me off is it's more or less got to go on a rolling road to get it just right and that's if you have the jetting right to start with. I like the idea of the 39 pict because of the stock look and it's just like a solex to setup. If I knew more about setting...

Wow your awesome, I'm in Sheffield 👍 Do you have a contact number? I can give you something in return, I've got a spare aluminium side step, Weber 32/36 haha or rear horse shoe lowering plates? If you prefer beer it's yours lol

Thanx a lot guys n gals I have took the progressive off today and since the 39 pict is only 150 I'll give it a try. The twin carbs are so much money, I'm not claiming destitute but I think I've blown all my dough of looking good and interior that I have neglected the engine side. Saying that...

Were the 34's easy to setup and maintaine? My main worry is my skills to fix it... Mine should go like the clappers with a 1776, performace heads and 100 engle cam but it's stupid slow, I am pretty sure a standard 1.6 twinport working well is just as quick. My dad's an mot tester with years or...

Thanx mate, I have checked the valves set to 0.15mm, new spark plugs set to 0.70mm, new points set to 0.40mm and condenser. I have an electric fuel pump with a filter unit I can change the fuel pressure on and thats set to 2psi. I have not tried changing plugs leads one at a time because the...

Cheers mate I have worked hard but sometimes feels like pushing water uphill. I can reach just fine I use the frame to slide it shut. Just looking at a new carb but dunno if I should risk it or not, it's a solex style carb upgrade (keep it simple)...

Hiya has anybody had any experience with the big bore 39 pict 3? Whats the best jetting and do you see that magical 15% boost? https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/113129031k39-carburettor-39-pict.html
