    VW Front Emblem

    Looking for a polished stainless 10” front badge, does anybody know of where I can purchase one? I bought one from eBay but it requires to be bolted on which I don’t think is possible to access the upper holes due to the air intake. Thanks Harry

    Home made brake lines - good idea ?

    I have similar kit and works great, I would say this is easy task .. in fact find it quite relaxing once you've made a couple of fittings [emoji41] avoid steel pre-made kits as they are a real pain to bend to shape, oh and they rust!! Cupronickel pipe costs a little more than copper but...

    Cellulose vs 2Pack Paint?

    At the 2pack spraying stage with my Fleetline project. Scott from this forum gave me great advice as I was struggling - spray 3 coats with 10-15 mins in between .. more volume with each coat. Leave it a day then flatten with 1500 wet & dry (wet with soapy water not washing up liquid) followed by...

    Staple Gun for Replacing Vinyl on Door Cards

    I used a glue gun on the back of mine, held well generally. Couple of bits needed resticking after a year but it was quick to do.

    Plymouth Volksfest 22-25th May - EVENT CANCELLED!

    Although it looks like I was advertising the festival I was more hoping that people would jump at the opportunity to join me & Sally for a weekend of drinking :lol: As I was the first person posting the event I thought I would post info (its pretty much sold out now). We chose to go to that...

    why did you buy your bus ?

    We used to camp but grew tired of air beds leaking and waking up on hard cold floor, around the time my wife was paid off with stress, don't actually remember why we suddenly wanted a camper and it became a bit of an obsession. Yes we were maybe fashion victims but we were committed :) We sold...

    Your bucket list.

    1. Drive to Germany in bus and take a ride on Wuppertal Schwebebahn. 2. Learn Spanish 3. Find the girl group All Saints broken down (circa 1997) on motorway in poor weather, I take them all to safe refuge and Melanie Blatt is very grateful and I am perfect gentleman. They approve of my guitar...

    Bus not well

    Sound like your getting fuel so I'd be inclined to look at ignition. Ignition leads/spark plugs/points/timing adjustment could all be cause of problem with a cheap and easy fix. Maybe not best practice but myself would pull one lead at a time off distributor or plug (whichever is easier) and if...
