Thanks, it took me two tries to get one that I liked.

It's a:

Dash Designs
"Dashtex" material in Charcoal Grey
Part number: 1109-1XCH

The color is a little darker than the photos suggest. That same company makes them in various colors and materials.

Those mats look like a good fit. Where did they come from?

They seem to be high quality and are a great fit. I got them from busdepot, some other vanagon parts dealers carry them as well.

Is that a vinyl decal pinetops? If so, three or one piece? Really sharp looking.

Thanks Mike

Yes, it's a vinyl decal. It's a 2" wide, 3 piece racing/pin stripe set that I got on ebay.

New springs (moog 5658), shocks and upper ball joints.

vs stock '85 one year only springs:

I haven't updated in a while but I've been working on the vanagon. Most notably, I installed some refurbished injectors and that made a massive difference. It now cranks up and runs really smooth and has improved throttle response.

what injectors did you install? I have the same rig and I ALMOST replaced them when I did fuel lines this summer but held off. Great van!!

[Pinetops]

They are oem style injectors. If your spray pattern is good I wouldn't change them. There is a member here that is now offering some upgrade ones if you want to go all out.

Thanks Skelly!

Hey Pinetops,

Really loving what you've done with your 85. I have the same year/color rig. But with the full camper (and still sporting the high front springs and 14s ).

I LOVE your pinstripe. I've been looking on eBay. Do you mind if I copy you? What I love about it is you matched it with the pop top. That mocha colored pop top is my fav thing about this color combo.

Do you remember the seller? I've got my sights on the exact same one....

Thx for any help!
