Hi dustrat I bought the motor complete from Stan Pobjoy who is a vw guy in Oz and he does all his own machining work etc here is the link to his business if you want to email him as I'm not sure on prices just for the heads etc.

Just a bit of an update for those that may be interested in knowing how this project is going. I have been a little distracted after selling my Karmann Ghia I purchased a lowlight single cab ute etc now that I've sold the ute it's time to get this finished and on the road as this bus is the whole reason why I got into the VW scene.
The tubs that we got rolled up on the English wheel still needed a lot of tweaking and slicing to get them to sit nice and flush with the body and that to my mate Wayne's patience they now sit nicely. To give the tubs some more strength and make them solid a seat base frame has been welded in. Next on the cards is to get the tubs welded to the body/frame.

 

[mozzie]

Ok so not much to update however the 4.5" narrowed beam with transporterhaus drop spindles are all together now and ready to go into the bus.

 

[mozzie]

A little more progress on my Panel the tubs are now all welded in place now just modifying the seat frames to sit flush on the tubs.

 

[mozzie]

A bit more progress on the seats over the weekend with the passenger side seat modified and the drivers seat rails welded in a ready to role

 

[mozzie]

Passenger side modifications completed.
