Here you go

The rear end has been narrowed, with notches and adjustable springplates to get the wheels well up in to the arches with the new 195/65 tyres. Tucking nicely and driving really good.

Cruising speed has increased by about 5mph due to the bigger tyres.

Slamwerks have done a top job

Going in to the workshops of Wolfsburg Wizards early next week for phases 2 and 3 of this winter work....

Thanks everyone The pictures are not really doing it justice at the moment.

Matt - I am having a new motor built which is now almost ready, plus a general engine bay tidy up and under windscreen repair.

Hell yes. Looking very nice indeed. Another tick for Slamwerks. Narrowing the rear seems a little difficult. What's the process?

Love this bus even better in the flesh

I'm never a fan of the contrast of narrow front ends and stock-ish rear ends. narrowing the rear is such a nice touch, nicely done. I'll keep it in mind for the velvet 68...

Looks awesome I love this bus, how easy is it to get the rear wheels off when needed?

yum yum wraggles

Just read your whole thread.your bus is exactly how I want my 68 to turn out.
A trully awesome bus.

I have a couple of questions.
1st are you running a 1600sp with a 1302 gearbox,what is your crushing speed like?

And secondly your paint looks awesome,like a Matt blue.how do you care for it.do you anchor wax or anything?

Sorry if these questions sound stupid.lol

 

[EgoTrippin]

Cheers fella. I am running a stock 1600sp with the 1302 box. I find it doesnt have the torque for getting up hills though, so I would advise having a bigger motor.
It cruises around 60-65mph now with those tyres.
I use Ankor Wax on the paint, though I haven't done it for a while now.

Thanks Spooner, not sure how easy its going to be, but should be a bit easier than before as I have more space between the rim and the arch to get the wheel out.

Your bus has perfect patina and a great story, what sort of upgrade are you planning?

Im going to be sorting my 1600 tp out with some more oomp, a more refined version of the 1300tp I built for my bug
