I thought it was time to put up a story about my van.
Bought it 3 years ago after i sold my beetle convertible.
It came in the same container from the US as my beetle, the previous (Dutch) owner repainted it profesionally inside and outside and put in a fresh rebuild (US) engine but short after this the engine gave some problems and the van went into the garage for 10 years :shock:
This is how the van looked when i just bought it.
But the van was not detailed to my standards so i renewed al the birch plywood.
And upholstery.
The engine that was rebuild in the US was shot so i build a new one.
Its a 1641cc with NOS type 3 heads, riechert 34pci carb set, schleicher 292 cam and a home made twin pipe exhaust from a beetle box and 2 reversed mounted type 3 end tips.
The thing on top of the fan shroud is a NOS judson see dee electronic ignition.
And not long ago i found a NOS fuel pump 8)
The exhaust.
