'65 bus GL prahjekt
Hey all, guess its time i show what im workin on....:D
its a 1965 "EZ Camper" going GL. Heres the plan... Power will be supplied by a torque monster 1915cc that my buddy is building. Specs on that later. Full exterior repaint in the original velvet green. '83 944 vented discs front and rear, with a 944 MC as well. 17" Porsche turbo twists 7" front 9" rear. 4" narrow beam and drop spindles from wagenswest and a steering box raise. IRS conversion rear along with a narrowed torsion housing to fit those 9" wheels. Built type 1 trans from AZ transaxle. Safari windows from Wolfgang. And i will be fixing the "jersey look" fenders also. Stay tuned for that. Heres some pics of the bus: This how she looked when i found her. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...4.jpg~original Heres how she sits now. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...1.jpg~original http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...8.jpg~original http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...2.jpg~original http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...5.jpg~original http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...4.jpg~original |

Havent seen much progress with this but i'll update what ive got so far.
Steering box raise in progress.... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah010.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah009.jpg Safaris partially installed, i still have to weld the tabs in. We quit workin cos it was late and we had already put away a case of Rolling Rock. Oh yeah, and you may notice i shaved the "fried egg" turn signals. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah015.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah014.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah016.jpg Put LED's in the stock taillights http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah008.jpg Running light. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah006.jpg And this is the brake light. i better not get rear ended when i get this thing rollin. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...deborah007.jpg[/ |

Looking great! You wouldn't have any How-to info on the LED taillight conversion? I would appreciate some info about that. ;)

How much did you have to narrow the IRS to get the wheels to tuck properly?

http://vwrepublic.com/forums/index.php?topic=22.0 edit. Just re-read your question and realised i didnt answer properly. i didnt narrow the IRS, i narrowed the bus torsion to bug specs, and then it was a bolt on operation, except for having to recess the IRS pivots into the bus frame horns. |
Oh yeah, update. Got the brakes sorted and bled today. The pushrod needs adjusted because there is a bit of freeplay in the pedal....type 1 engine is also getting the top end freshened so i can drive it while i build the monster type 4.
