Anyone in Bristol?

[KTetley]

Hi
Im new to Early Bay and to the VW bus world in general. Ive recently got a 1971 westy, in great nick.
Im interested to find any fellow EBers in Bristol and surrounds for general chat/swaps/meets/advice etc.

Thanks fellas, we're in Easton. We're completely new to the VW scene - but having fancied a bus for some time we managed to lay our hands on a lovely 1971 westy. Its been in the states a fair while and the bodywork is in great condition. We bought it from an Italian owner and have sucesfully dated, MOT'd and registered it. We're just having a few bits and bobs done to make it run a bit more smoothly! We've had a few nice weekends away so far and have plans to get some work done over the winter. My problem is im a complete novice when it comes to the 'engine' side of things. Im really looking forward to learning and getting my hands dirty, but will certianly need some help and some pointers in the right direction!

If you need a good garage well versed in buses, try my mates around the corner on Church Road, number in my signature.

There are quite a lot of VWs in Bristol, and at least 3 active VW clubs in the area.
