Cheryl’s first bus

So a little about the bus. It’s a 72 import, from Germany to USA Texas then imported to the UK 11 years ago. It’s LHD has original 72 westfalia interior, original paint on the exterior along with original panels, it’s had nothing welded, and is truley solid. It’s a 1700cc running with twin Webber carbs that’s need setting up properly, lowered 1 spline on the rear and lowered a little on the front on the adjustable beam.

I love it

It went to its first meet the next weekend






It then broke, leaking brake cylinder, so fitted new drums, cylinders and shoes

 

Next up was to change the fuel lines, replace the house pipe used as protection in the firewall with a grommet, located the fuel filter under the bus rather than inside the engine bay, not ideal attached to starter motor but will rectify later

Ended up draining all the fuel out of the tank to change the hose. Annoying

Also had a little leak from the carb. My friend rectified this for me

After all of the previous, it isn’t running correctly

Only one side of the engine works on idle, currently going through fault finding over the next few days so will report back once we figure out what it is

I found a cool engine lid at Stanford hall too

Welcome from Ashbourne in the Peak District .

 

This looks like the worlds gnarliest hydration test, if viewed in isolation.




Joking aside, that's a great looking van, one does like a tin tip.
