Also VW originally had some light foam around the window crank see picture and a piece of felt that went around the lock mech. To avoid any odd rattles from the road see picture I used a chunk of black leather and some odd foam laying around. And I think it was about midnight when I took...

If you look closely, you can see where The sheet was cemented in originally from the factory it dirty this was before I had completely cleaned it up. With the new barrier, the flap faces inside the door, you'll need a small split cut in the plastic where your window post runs (the second arrow...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Perseverance paid off, did the same thing @admwillms thought ahh, easy peasie, pulled off the old one long night setting up my pulley system. And then a day later got back at it and fixed, I actually use aircraft heater hose availible in different sizes and...

Yeahh did this last year! Used a garbage bag, templated from old one. I also POR 15 the door as this will help with interior water issues as well as pulling some old fill and replacing with water resistant/mildew resistant barrior in the doors. See here:

So am having some issues with my Fünken frankensteined motor. With the header I have, and the heat exchangers and the carb heat riser tube, I for the life of me can not get the flex tube on the heat exchanger because of the intense angle/flex. Any ideas? Pictures for explanation: Plus...

Wow! The install job is so clean I can see right through that top! Crazy, install must have been a breeze! ;)

So a buddy of mines real nice, Orange crossover, with brand new Maroon canvas top, my White westy, with original top canvas there. Orange and maroon, go together nicely?! [/URL]

;) heres another paint job, thinking VW offered it as an option. . . . A little different.

Have wanted for my buddy's Bus dog-bone style slider door handle on his '71 hardtop westy.

The style of hubcap changes, from moon/dome to a flatter style in 71. I was wondering the other day if the hubcaps on a Vanagon are the same as the later bays. Not certain on that one though.

I just came across this, and I kind of really want one!!! :)

I wouldn't say weird paint, not normal yes, but there is a early bay in my neighborhood with the same exact paint scheme. I will have to get a picture one of these days. :o

Going down the road my seat springs are constantly sqeekin'?! What did you do? What have you done? What will quiet it down? Did you find the fix? Share!!! :D http://youtu.be/Ja_6POpnPk8 I know its not a bay, but still makes me laugh! Go VW, go! -Eddie

Stateside, thoughts on it, in general? Top looks decently done, colors are they a one off? :? Blue and silver were an option in 1972. http://lewiston.craigslist.org/cto/4435502800.html Just in case the link dies, pictures! -Eddie

As a heads up last year I was thinking this same thing was happening to me, felt my clutch getting gummy until it finally "went". So I got to business after towing it home pushing it up in the drive and started wrenching went down got a new clutch and pressure plate assy. Pulled mine which still...

I just did this! You my friend are in luck, I was discontent at first the general reply was to just have a different key to open your door, or my other option was to "just to rekey." Sigh. I didnt want to, and I didn't want two keys! I just want stock, plain and simple. If you have the ignition...

Just to back you up here I think I have seen both. You know looking over my photos that I've taken it looks like the m-plate is painted but the VIN plate is stainless/aluminum.

So I'm treating my doors to a make over took off the old door panel on the drivers side, thought long and hard on insulation then saw that my drivers door didn't have anything there and figured well if its been good the last 40 years... Might be alright to keep going that way. So anyways I...

Just my take on an early, enjoy.
