new years eve and in the day light i could see what a bad job i had done on the wheels, I orderd a new cooling fan from machine 7 tuesday afternoon on the interweb (as there phones were not being man'd over christmas) so quite hopeful of this be delivered today i cracked on with the wheels while waiting for the post, came out well in the end

at 14:15 the postie arrived with a package :mrgreen: free delivery and received in 2 days over christmas, think i'll be using machine 7 again

one step closer to heating

WTF :x only the best vw part will do :roll:

at 16:15 the engine was running, i'm well impressed with that as i did'nt know anything about them really before buying it, working alone and being a bit shit :lol:
at 17:30 it was back on all fours (the bus not me) bumpers back on 8)

just to prove it runs this was taken at elvaston castle :lol: you'll have to trust me

put to bed, i'm proper chuffed :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

front wheels to be sprayed before i go back to work (the 4th) and i have a non blocked jet carb in the post 8) .WORD ..... as its new years eve and i've just sat down, i'm off to order chinese, drink mucho stella and make it up to the wife

I would have thought 88mph with a narrow front end would be a bit twitchy in the arse department

Cheers!

i have indeed worked on it! haha! well if your ever fed up of it you can send it my way !! ill give you the bug with an 8inch beam haha not quite fair though!

when you aiming to get it down for or does that all depend on how its running!

 

[Slammed]

Ash, I hate your bus... :evil:

It makes me want to spend more money and build myself a 4inch K/L beam! :lol:

 

[dubscum]

ollie, i hate it to sometimes (but not enough to swap it for a beetle ) ......... you know you want to go narrow.

tom, i want to have the rear down for march, as i still have (very flattened and batterd) bump stops and march is MOT time. Not sure if i'll be able to afford it so i might just grind them off.

massive thanks to currylarger for the startermotor

massive thanks to olly the hus for the carb

and a massive thanks to ubbacool for the earlybay sticker i stuck on the wrong side of the window, so will be buying another one :lol:
up and running even took it out.
my sister and her boyfriend with there 10 month old daughter was camping about 45 mins away so me, the wife and our little lad had a drive over to see them in there sky high wolfsburg edition wedge

it was below freezing and we have no heating in the bay, its not even got heater tubes, so its like riding in a side car :lol: my hand and feet were numb, how warm does a bus get with standard heating ? We were there an hour and the bus had frozen on the inside of the windscreen, had to drive back with the windows down for a while after scraping it, lights arn't up tp much either :shock:

 

[dubscum]

new fan, new altinator, new carb, new startermotor, servise not long ago, runs mint cold, drives sounds warm, but will not idle when warm, everytime i come to a junction press the cluch the engine cuts out, if it stopped and i tap the trottle it will run for 2 minutes then die ? is this more a timing problem ? there not much left to change :lol: just need a little help / advise of someone who knows a lot more then me,. what wrong with it ?

 

[71dormy]
