    What do you guys know about the rear torsion bars sold by Wolfsburg West?

    I’ve been thinking it might be good for an old Westy – nobody likes saggy.

    Well, I was going to say  – hooray the metal work is done.  But it sounds like the body work is no picnic…

    Today was a GORGEOUS day in the San Luis Valley – so we took Lori’s 69 Ghia out for a Sunday drive and a nice lunch.  Big smiles!!!3578

    Very cool, Pat!  If that block-off plate works – I’m sure the trim piece with the stock Motorola radio will also fit.

    Thanks for checking that out!!

    REALLY nice job fixing up the bad thing I did to that dash, Pat!!

    Yeah – probably the factory cover plate will cover that.  I KNOW for sure the stainless plate I machined (slightly larger) will cover it, so if it’s too big a pain – skip it!

    BTW – do you happen to know what insulation was used on Willbur’s 65 SO42?  It looks real nice and I’d like to find out.

    WOW – REALLY, REALLY nice work, Pat!!!

    Sorry – I forgot to mention – I think the height of the radio opening was also increased a bit back when I installed a stereo…

    Yep – beige grey and sealing wax red was a 1964 color combo, not available in 1966 – except maybe on Westys.  Maybe another piece of evidence for the 64 vs 66 sleight of hand by VW for this 66 bus – with OG safari windows…
