71 Bay-HULAWGN

did you put it in the empty spot in the dash cluster?

Cool.

Yes, its in the empty spot, not quite centered but close enough for a 35$ tach from O reillys

Nice!

Adjusted rear brakes and parking brake cable. bled front calipers, ordered all kinds of parts. electric fuel pump 3psi, new coil, spare clutch cable, new heater cables, stainless phat boy muffler. engine build started and should be ready mid sep.

big motor installed before bulli and key west trip, 3000 miles now no problems, gobs of power. Dyno tuned last thur and picked up 16 more horseys with some linkage adjustment. 101 RWHP 117 torqe and peaking at 4500 rpm. Only ran it up to 5600. very pleased. Thankx to Mike for all his help and expertise. oh yeah, air fuel right at 14.5 to 1, getting great mileage when I keep my foot out of it.

Sweet!!

That's some nice numbers.........

Shoot yeah! Go race !

Thanks guys, I guess third time's a charm on engine build. There will be absolutely no racing { except to smoke Glenn's bus }

Russell's automotive in hampton for Dyno. 95$ for 3 pulls and 1 hr. not a bad deal. Mr. Russell does it himself and is very knowledgable and helpfull.

I still own you from 0-5.

Hahahahaha

Classic.

As Glenn's the one who got me addicted to VW's, I'll allow that yes he does own me to 5mph and my wife hates him.

I apologised to Amy in advance. I knew what was comming.

is that 0-5 or 5-0 tim

I own him either way. The Jolly Rancher also had 4piston calipers in front.

lose the reduction box's and your done for.

Started on new interior panels a few days ago, 7 down and 7 left. Had to make 8 new ones out of 5mm ply as some of the original were totally shot. Now I know why auto upholstery shops charge so much for their expertise!!! The hula girl interior is gonna look killer.


Using 1/4 foam under fabric and 3m 77 spray adhevisive, { thanks Tanbug}

Looking great!!

I think you found the perfect fabric to go with your bus!

Thats going to look great. I could only imagine how perfect it would fit theme of your hulawgn.
did you find that fabric or have it made?

Wife found it online for 10 bucks a sq yard. Really good deal, don't remember what site. I'll have to have her tell me and post it.

Thats going to be cool. Any more pics?
