Looking very nice Karlos. What's next?

Thanks, well chuffed with it Next things on the to-do list are a 4 inch king & link pin beam with dropped spindles and a 2110 motor 8)

nice van. Glad you got your engine sorted.

Is that a beetle oil bath airfilter? What happened to the old bus one you had on the first engine?

Yeah that is a bug filter. I cut the bus oil bath filter stand out when I had my engine with twin 36's, so when I went back stock I couldn't run my old filter :roll: I ran a crappy pancake jobbie for 1 month and got fed up with the crap running and carb icing :lol:

 

[mike202]

Ah yes of course!

Lovely paint job, looks great.

Although my 1600 is a good'un I've always had an urge for a fast bus, Ollie (Slammed) put me onto his mate Hector who built him a nice 1776, I wanted similar sort of thing..... Went to see him, had a chat and a cuppa then left with a shopping list for an all out 2110 :roll: :lol: It's gonna consist of 90.5 x 82, 5.4 H-beam Chevy journal rods, Engle FK8 cam, straight cut cam gears, DRD cnc ported heads with 40x35.5 valves, Itailian Weber 44 IDF's, merged header with mondo muffler and many other goodies :mrgreen:

 

[K@rlos]

Should be fun

Cracking looking bus, lots of time and effort gone in and its really paid off! My bus is also from Karmann Konnection , and also in l87 pearl white.

Just waiting for my over riders to arrive then our buses will look even more similar.

 

[K@rlos]

Big bear, your bus is a beauty too. Over riders are the icing on the cake with a US bus imo 8)

 

[Myvanway]

Very nice Westy K@rlos and nice to see some pics. 8)

[Barkafer]

Good progress in 24 hours son! :lol:
Loving the big motor! :mrgreen:

 

[mister]

Nice work your bus is looking awesome. The pearl white paint looks great, inspiring me to do mine.

 

[K@rlos]

Pete

Not gonna go mega low as I have to allow for a deep sump, oil cooler and mondo exhaust which will be on my new engine. Want the down another 2-3 inches all round. Main reason for a link pin beam is the ride, ball joint beams are shocking :?

 

[K@rlos]

Good progress in 24 hours son! :lol:
Loving the big motor! :mrgreen:

I work fast :lol:

Well stoked to get this motor built, can't wait! Planning to own a few of the local boy racers at the lights too :mrgreen:

Hi karlos
Your bus is looking a lot different to when I picked up the twin 36s a while ago. Nice work mate.
