Rob and Gadgets chat about town……

Im not going to post many pics here, as my bus is a '75.
I will probably do something over VZI if i find the motivation

This is my first VW. 1975 microbus with factory windows, been stored since 89.

I know its a late one, but it was stupidly cheap and rot free.
It also matches my BMX!

After waiting for nearly 2 weeks for ssp to deliver my shiny exhaust, i fitted it last monday...... At last! i can drive it, or can i?

Perhaps im a pussy? but i dont fancy driving it, when both carbs piss out fuel when running!

So next jobs invovle carb inspection/rebuild, lowering, interior re-fit & to loose the hubcaps.

Nice looking unit, the BMX match would make it a must buy to me too. It's been a while since I've seen such a straight stock bus as well. Nothing like a blank canvas just waiting to be worked on.
I would hold off driving it with the carby leaking problem. Flames are much nicer painted on the front, not pouring out the back eh?

Just checked out your VZI thread - it doesn't look too bad to me! - your seat covers and door panels look great!
I'm sure you'll be on the road in no time at all - and then it'll all be worth it!
