1968 Amescador

Nice van dude 8)

I love the roofrack too

 

[gninnam]

Yup - looking good, shame the tyres have to change as you can't beat (in
my opinion :lol: ) og wheels with cosher tyres 8)

 

[Tofufi]

Personally I wouldn't change the tyres.

I plan on running full height tyres on my bay, despite being about the same height as yours.

Mine will be going lower soon too - full size tyres look awesome filling the wheelarches.

 

[Grazy]

I may be WAAAAAAAAY off the mark but can you not put smart car tyres on which have lower profile ???? correct me if i am wrong

hope you can see `em [/img]

 

[gninnam]

I've heard that, but you loose the full bodied look of the standard 80 ratio tyre

 

[Justin & Muttley]

Yeah, I think some people use rear Smart car tyres!

 

[Airtime]

Thanks guys for all the comments! 8)

I've used Smart tyres on my bug. Only difference is that a bug has 15" wheels and the stock wheels of a bay are 14". So if you want to use Smart tyres, you'll have to change the wheels too. However, a guy I know has 165/60/r14 tyres in front:

It's not a very clear pic, more pics (of this AWESOME Westy) can be found here. 8)

I think I'll try to find these tyres as well. :wink:

Last weekend we've been to Friesland (Freezeland :wink: ) with the bus! 8)
Some pics I took during the trip there:

On the camping:

At the 'Woudagemaal':

We had 'some' rain ont he way home...

Things to do:
Get new cushions for the rear seats/bed :?
Fit low profile front tyres
Drop the back a bit
Connect ipod or something like that

I've been spotted on the way home:

8)

Defo needs to drop at the rear...

 

[gninnam]

Good pictures - but I like the stance (each to ones own :lol: )

Always wondered what those thingy's at the sides of the doors were for - to hold your black bin bag - excellent idea 8)

 

[Scampi]

Good pics.

The front narrowed beam is looking ace! :wink:

 

[Airtime]

Thanks guys!

The front narrowed beam is looking ace! :wink:

Ehh :?: It's not narrowed, it's the original beam. :?

 

[easy]

Great piccies :wink:

 

[Airtime]

A 'bit' late, but thanks Easy!

Yesterday I've been to the monthly Aircooled Cruise Night.

Around 65 aircoolers arrived at the scene, amongst them 3 EB's. :wink:

It was a nice evening. 8)

The other pics I took can be found here.

Nice pics son 8)

 

[taffy]

Pure quality Airtime. :lol: :lol:

I've been a bit busy lately, but it's time for another update again, I think.

2 weeks ago I was invited to park my van in the 'historic showroom' of the 'Keverclub Zuid-Holland regiomeeting'.
I took some pics of my display.

A couple of EB's came to the show:

This panel has a Porker 944 brake conversion at the front (and is running on Porker spare steelies). :shock: Interesting! 8)

At the end of the show I parked my van next to a standard height crossover. Spot the difference? :lol: :lol:

The other pics I took can be found here.

 

[easy]

Cheeky piccies, love the panel and yours of course! 8)

 

[Airtime]

Thanks EZ! 8)

I forgot one thing in my update:

Last weekend I got my almost unused original Amescador 'out of the back' tent and an original Westfalia awning! The previous owner of the bus still had them and last weekend I was in his neighbourhood so I picked them up.

I'll take some piccies asap!

 

[Scampi]

Your van looks sweet dude!

Loving the panel on the porka spares though, stance is ace!
