Congratulations! Turkis doubles are among my favorite VWs. Unfortunately, you do know that work on the early Ghia will without a doubt grind to a halt!

Did you have to take the gallon jugs of used engine oil, or are they saving them as fuel for when the Apocalypse comes?

Any interior pics of the camper?

The engine still works well and in a few weeks it will be on the road again and off to new adventures in California. Hope to take it to Blackstar 2018. And yes I will have some questions for the group.





Don't toss the cover for your tilt. If all the pieces are still there it is possible to resew the seams. I had one on my DC that had been used as a goat shelter. The pieces were separated and the goats had trampled all over them. But that material is indestructible! I had a local saddle maker stitch it back together and it was beautiful.

There are a couple more shots in my Gallery. Search "tilt".

Looks like you guys got a 2fer Deal, but not the Split Bug or the Oval ??



REALLY nice looking dash, a Westy w/ a Clock ? Any Westy gear ??

UZI Mon Jul 10, 2017 3:49 pm

Yup. 2fer deal. Seemingly complete interior. It has the cot but no tent. I have that covered already.

I don't want that split. I saw it in the woods 15 years ago. A buddy wants the oval but it's not for sale yet.

Solomon Grundy Mon Jul 10, 2017 10:28 pm

Thanks, this will be a fun adventure. I will have many questions.
I hear maybe some gent called Tommy Buese I think may make those. I will toss nothing and keep it stock.

Here is a video from yesterday of the 1963 Double Cab alive after 25 years of just sitting around waiting for more California adventures.
