Hi, Guys so here is the first Part of what i am done with EASI 71

4 Inch Narrowed Needle Roller Beam From Boxwagen
Boxwagen Dropped Spindles
Adjustable Spring Plates From T2D
New Servo from VW Jim
CSP Wide 5 Vented Disks on Front
Brakes Serviced on Back
Waiting for Boxwagen to make me some nice disks for the back.
The Real Deal OG Empi 5 Spoke Split Rims (Stone Grey) from Richie At Karmann Konnection which he got from the states 20 years ago with OG centre caps as well
All Gear Linkages replaced as well.

The Bus drives and handles like a dream now,best products i have ever used.

Thanks To Jim Merrin (VW Jim) for all his Support / Work on the bus
Thanks to Ady at Boxwagen for his Great Products
Thanks To Jon at Java for his help/advice with the wheels getting then right with the torque settings etc.

Enjoy The Pictures. More Pictures can be found on VW Jims Workshop Blog.

This bus was Restored over 11 years ago as most of you know, look how great the body is on top and underneath and that shine on the paint not a bubble or a piece of rust in site, great workmanship from keith at VW Relics.you would think its Just been finished.

Next Jobs West of England mohair brown headliner,new lenny copp brown early door cards and stripping all the dark stain from the OG Devon interior wood to how it should be.Managed to pick up 3 OG Coat Hooks and 2 OG Long Spoons Latches aswell.Maybe a bigger engine in the future when funds allow Look out BWA,will keep you all posted.


Thanks For Looking
Carl :) :)

Had a good look at this in Brighton, normally hate the reproduce empis with a passion but your OG ones look the nuts. Think it's the bare look that does it, don't ever chrome them :wink:

Overall it's looking sweet, well done on the mods.
