Thank you for the tip but I have an original drum puller and it also make light work of any stuck drum. I got tired of pulling out out old VWs with the breaks froze on so I bit the bullet and bought a puller off here. It was well worth the investment


Nice to have that tool, but lots less time and trouble to use the punch thru two lug bolts on each drum.

Speaking of lotto ticket... You have been getting off easy Wink
Sometimes the puller is about the only way to get them off!

I posted pics of the original bus find on my FB and someone replied that they parted out a bus years ago and still had this kit stored away

That looks super dry and laser straight. It's going to buff out really nice. TR-3 is the way to go if you don't already know.

Well I gave into temptation. I just couldn’t take it anymore. That poor old pale face looking at me every time I walked by, just begging to be touched and made to look young again. 10 mins of mine time and I made her shine once again

Well took the old camper kit out today. Kind of cool to see it’s all numbered. Would love to find the original install instructions. Rust isn’t horrible but more than I was hoping to see

Well I got a chance to start on the metal work. This is the first time I have ever done welding. It’s far from perfect but I’m happy with it. Next I’ll apply some filler and try and blend the paint. Again this will be another first for me. Once I have this done it’s onto the long rocker
