You got a cool van! Ken and I Jen have a 1980 VW westfalia pop up camper van we are restoring! We cant wait to take it with us camping @ the Drive in! Right now its like a cream color on the pop up and body is a burnt orange terracotta color~ Ken wants to paint it like the color of the foam on root beer soda, cause our seats are a milk chocolate brown! Safe fun magical journeys with love and peace ya all! Jen and Ken! 🧡☮️
Thanks for sharing! I have the op to purchase one, just want to know how this air cool engine handles the extra weight on the Westfalia equipment? Thanks for sharing!
Yes the engine in this is the largest engine they put in a bus of that year. It’s the 2000cc engine with the freeway gearing. It handles the extra weight just fine! It’s not fast but does 70 just fine!!! They are great little buses …
Your battery needs to be bolted down. I did not know that vibration from driving will cause damage to the plates inside the battery and shorten life. In my state, you will fail inspection. And in the Porsche club, you needed additional hardware to get on the track. Factory was not good enough... Next, they need to check the oil level whenever they gas up. And you shouldn't have to tell them, but NO diesel. A friend of mine, her partner, put in diesel at the gas station, guess who had a $400 dollar tow bill ??
That's the best VW tour I've seen online. Now I know everything I need to know about a Combi! Brahma bless you.

Owned a 69 and the next-gen 1985...Prefer the next-gen for camping and touring.
