    Bus is on the road

     

    Well, after the second attempt, I got my T2a through its inspection.

    The first time, it failed because of a missing rubber on the brake pedal (no kidding), wrong tires and to much play on a balljoint.

    The balljoint were replaced with new ones and Big Tall Eddy von der S has lent me his wheels.



    At the second attempt, the bus sailed through without a single remark, so after some time, I can now start rolling it. But first it needs some care in the height department.


    Did you notice that the bus also lost its grey spots somewhere down the road?

    This morning I found my new ride out their like this. Hmmm I love snow...

    Nice Late Looker

     

    While Pascal and I were going out to check out his to be project, the seller Robin turned up in a nice Late Looker.


    The car was built in 1996 when it was completly redone. Robin admidded to have commited a few youth-sins when building the ride back in the days but I think the ride still looks good.


    One of the sins are the wings that have been welded to the body and filled up with filler and the removal of the fresh air intakes behind the rear window.

    The rest of the car look like a real Late Lokker according to the books: 4.5 and 5.5 inch Sprintstars (one of the best 4 lug wheels), teh stance is spot on, the dual quiet pack, dechromed...
    You name it, Robins ride has it.
    Nice one Robin...

    New Project: Welcome back Pascal

     

    After a long time of hesitation and a lot of regret after selling his notch a few years back, Pascal decided is was time for another type 3.
    This time it wasn't going to be a finished ride, but a full on project.
    After some looking around, we (Pascal and I) came across the perfect project. The deal didn't include just one early notch, it came as a 2 car project.
    As the blue one is almost beyond repair, the grey shell is in pretty good condition. So the plan is to use the parts of the blue one, repair the grey one and repaint it and dress it up with the donorparts.
    As both cars are 64 1500S with push botton dash and red needle speedo, the end result will be a profectly rebuild 64 1500S.
    So after a little break, Pascal is back into the world of the air cooled VW. Welcome back P and hope to see you cruising around town pretty soon...
