Very very nice!

This is going to be a good looking panel van when completed. Any plans for the interior yet?

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

That motor used to be "fuel injection" as it came complete with the harness and single carb.
On the manifolds and harness it had the little injectors

I swoped the carb, manifold and harness for a complete set of twin carbs

Hi Thomas

Yes planing on putting in the type4, just need to get an upright conversion for it and maybe have it rebuild first

Thanks, :hangloose: will get it from you when I drop the papers for Notch

Hi Dixon,

That bus is looking great.

Was also looking to that Blue, damn, now I have to change it to something else...... :roll:

:TIC:

Have a Type 4 in my bus, which will be going into the Fleetline Panelvan, when done.

Will however keep it flat. Personaly feel the STD beetle fan can not cope with the heat output of the type 4.
