So..recently ive been working a lot more on the bus,,it now runs great with a 1600sp and somewhere in its life the original trans was swapped out for a later tunnel trans,,"small nut"so just gonna run it,,seems fine and looks like a low mileage trans,
The interior is now sporting all new LIMBA panels,stained and sealed,pics to come,,or follow me on Instagram "redrum_vw" still on the hunt for the cushion material,

What is a SIWA reefer? The wheels look like they were painted butternut as well. Incredible documentation. True old school westy porn. |
