I went and Got A VW Van!

[SpeedJunkee's Carbs]

I haven't been on here for awhile, but I thought I show you guys what I picked up this week end!



I will get more pictures this week. All it needs is a brake and clutch pedal assembly and the steering column fabed up!

NICE WORK!

I'm guessing you've not been here 'cause business is good! At least I hope so.

One of these days I'll remember to ship you that econocarb for the '54!

Kwel 8) Looks like it's been shortened too or is just an optical illusion? Now all you need is a 2180 with dual 44IDA's for it.

Re: I went and Got A VW Van!

Its been shortened and stretched back out! Still shorter than factory

what other vehicle in history would have a path like that?

nice wheels... ;D

I quibble over a subaru (3 main bearing) nearly breaking in half.. and here is this van possibly twice its age, hacked and back again..

I'll just go back to keeping my head low in the trenches.

If you need bits - there's a guy here in town who has a stash of these. Not sure what he has or what he's prting out but I'll connect you if interested. But you may have a closer loonie.

Re: I went and Got A VW Van!

We had one of these when I was in high school. Dropped a dual port hot rodded engine in it and would get surprised looks as we passed people on the highway. What a blast. the engine was to much for the transaxle, though and once in awhile we'd get it stuck between gears. We'd jump out with a big screw driver and a hammer and pop it loose, and away we'd go.

What fun.

Is that a barndoor?

Re: I went and Got A VW Van!

It looks like it has safari windows in it; good score!

Hard to tell from the angle, but I don't think so. If I remember correctly from my previous life as a bus owner, barndoors had no real overhang of the roof over the windshield(s). A rear shot would tell us for sure...

Re: I went and Got A VW Van!

So, ya went and bought the "Tetanus Shot".......and if I recall correctly(and I DO)Mikey V SWORE he wouldn't part with this thing 'til it was roadworthy again. Musta got busy on the Hudson rat rod and the psychobilly Cadillac again.

:

The backstory to this thing would make for an interesting story over a barley pop or 10.....some of it would make yer head spin like Linda Blair's.

So Richard, you're wanting to go snag parts this weekend? I'll see what I can do as far as being available....betcha can't make it pop a wheelie.

The gauntlet has been thrown DOWN.

;D
