Just thought I;d let you know how my Samba is coming along.
I bought the van as a pretty good condition runner earlier this year with plans to make it into a daily driver.
The work I've had done since includes;
Propex heater (thanks Julian B)
Creative IRS
Creative wide five drums
Toxic shocks
Cogbox built box with welded 3rd & 4th, 4.125 R&P, strengthened side plates etc etc.... new clutch
CSP disc brake kit and dual circuit system
EMPI quick shifter
Twin Dellorto 40's, merged header and single quiet pack
Java Raders with 145's and 185's
Toons
basic stuff at the moment but a serious set up waiting to go in once I can find someone to build me an interior!Nearly there as a daily driver now, it's going into Southern Carbs soon to be rolling road set up in readyness for a 2 week trip to the south of France in July.
Future plans include a new interior, a large engine (run out of funds just now!) and eventually paint but that's the last thing I'm worried about as this is a hot rod bus not a show queen.
