1972 VW Bus Deluxe 9 Passenger - Projekt Uber Geizig

Thanks! Well, darn...I just made a deal on a whole clutch and FW setup used from a guy on the Samba. But I still need a mustache bar so I would take that, just let me know what you want for it. In doing some research the '72 transmission mated up to a 210mm flywheel and clutch setup so that's what I have coming.

The bar is free. just figure out how to get it there. u can still have the clutch, pp and fw, if you want it. FREE

[Mikewire]

Sweet! I don't make it up to your parts often so if you would be willing to ship them I'll pay for your time plus the cost to ship. Or if anyone is coming from Helena for the cruise I can get it then.

Thanks! Jurg I'll keep that in mind as I build it up in the next few weeks.

Got the engine stand and yoke and mounted it up:





Time to order a few parts and get it back together.

Nice, but those are Type 1 headers and exhaust. I have a late Type 4

Shows what I know about these air-cooled motors

Haven't had time to work much on the bus with having to replace the coolant flange etc. on the Audi, but I had an hour or so last night so...here's some progress. I finished up laying the FatMat on most of the interior side panels. Then it started raining again







Obligatory ACVW motor content:





I just need to finish up laying it on the front of the cargo side firewall and on the sliding door and I will start to put the interior back together (Rear bench, recovered rear cargo mat, and main cargo area rubber mat), then as soon as I have a mustache bar (4est ) I will get the motor installed and the F.I. hooked up.
