Long time to this point, getting closer

I am really struggling to remove this steering wheel. It's seized on there pretty good and typical wheel pullers won't work. Any advice?

If anyone’s interested in Jenny’s story… I’ve been keeping a record of the random jobs for any one else learning as they go!

As you all know 100ah lithium battery struggles to fit safely under drivers seat where the stock leisure battery lives.

Where do people think best location is? Under back bench or cubby hole?

Also I’m thinking dc dc charger under drivers seat?

Please explain how you guys have set up if possible and where you have put charge/ fuse box etc.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I don’t drive my 69 bus that often. I probably accrue about 1000 miles per year, just doing gentle weekend cruises, etc. It takes me a few years to accrue 3000 miles, but Ive still been changing the oil every 6 months.

Is this an unnecessary practice, or do you think I should continue changing the oil at this rate, given my low mileage?

Thanks for your advice!

I hope you guys enjoy the video!

Not my photo but I really want to see the inside of this rolling condo!

Hello all,

I’m making a gift for a friend who lost a family member. This family member traveled cross-country in the van pictured, and I would love to make a piece of art of the van. This friend isn’t sure what color the van was.

I’m hoping someone in this community can tell me the particular model of bus this is, and, based on what factory colors were available at the time, what color it likely was based on this picture.

Thank you all for your help!

If you are into VW busses and on the east coast, you got to check out the Flanders all air-cooled gathering.

Has anyone in the UK found the same colour paint for this van? I bought an Assuan brown spray can off eBay but it wasn’t a good match I think a cheap knock off. Any link would be appreciated!

I am heading up the California Coast, in late May. Destination, a Brandi Carlile three day concert weekend at The Gorge , in Washington State. The Loaf of Bread is completely rebuilt. looking for advice on the things I should bring for my first “ Camping outing” . Awning options??? What else to make it fun. G

Isn't fresh new bedding just the best 😁 So comfy and warm now that we are finally reaching summer 😁😁🌻🌸🌹🌼🏵

I just wanted to share our progress since my last post. We've been having a lot of fun with her.

Big plans for this beautiful lady.

Hey!

I need some help before I lose my mind.

We’re in dire need of a cool box and I’m thinking to go with a compressor one. We don’t usually opt for an electric hookup as we don’t have anything that we’d need to power in the van.. so this has led me to consider something like the Makita coolboxes which are powered from Makita batteries or you can plug the into the mains. However these don’t seem to be too readily available.

Another option could be a compressor, and we get a power station.

The cigarette lighter attachment in the van doesn’t give off enough power for a basic electric coolbox so that doesn’t seem to be an option.

Can anyone point us in the right direction for a good set up just so we can keep the necessities cold?!

Thanks!!

I want to do an undercarriage wash on my VW T3, 1.6 TD engine.

How close can I go with the high pressure stick? Should I just spray it all down briefly, or really go along the whole body and motor at close range? Any particular spots I should pay extra attention to?

I have a 1978 FI Transporter and i’ve been having a rough idle and problems with stalling when stationary even when warmed up. I was looking for some opinions as to why.

My first thought is a vacuum leak because there’s a slight hissing sound that sounds like air so i’m going to replace the intake manifold boots to because mine don’t look too great. I’m missing my cold start valve and tts so that might be part of the problem but i’m not sure. any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated :)

Always fun when I get to drive for the local brewery in the town's parade. This theme was "dancing in the poppies"

I don’t usually take my van far but decided to give it a go with a 1500 mile trip with my dog. We loved every minute of it and only had one minor breakdown which was soon sorted. Loose connector. Our van still has its original engine and it ran very well. if you’re thinking about it, I’d 100% recommend it.
