Roxy, you should leave a way to contact you...

But I dont have middle seats, if your looking for a bus with middle seats you might find slim pickin's, as most the ones that survive are more of the camper sort. But they are certainly out there.

If you need, I can still make myself available, the bus is certainly able to do what youve asked.

Hi Roxy, Im about 35 minutes east of NYC but have a bus Id be willing to rent for the shoot, of course contingent on our speaking about what exactly it is you need the bus to do! haha

Here is a few pictures of my 1977 Bus after it was used for engagement photos and a bridal magazine...





Id love to talk, feel free to email mikeh at dasvolks dot com

VW stuff Wanted / Vanagon Seats
« on: May 06, 2012, 11:13:14 PM »
Looking for a set (drivers and passenger) of Vanagon seats to put in my Baywindow. Prefer something in the NY/NJ/CT/MA area so as to avoid high shipping charges.

If you have something, shoot me a line! PM here is the best way to start...

Want to try and make it to this this year!

Just graduating college, and I don't forsee me having many summers left!

The campground looks BEAUTIFUL by the pictures on their site!

On Long Island, New York, in Suffolk County. The prom is in June, we haven't been given the exact date/time yet, but I'm going to say it's probably from around 6pm-midnight. My best friend and I have wanted a VW Bus for 12th grade prom since 6th grade, it would be greatly appreciated!

obnoxiousblue, I think this one is for you.. Long Island is a little too far for me.. I don't like driving through the city.


On it!

Brianna, check your PM's!

(edit: I misspelled your name in the PM. SORRY! :-P)

Bay window concerns / My mufflers's last breath (fart?)
« on: May 02, 2012, 10:22:49 AM »
Ive been running the EMPI 4 tip extractor on my 77 bus. Last night the muffler can itself blew out a rust hole and now the entire drivers side of the can is pretty much obliterated.

Ive found the same style EMPI 4 tip extractor
http://http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC-D-2073

and the Bus Depot "stock looking" extractor
http://http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=352000

I am running the stock 3 bolt flange heater boxes and really cant do a coversion right now to the more desireable earlier/later style boxes.

Does anyone have any experiance with either of these exhausts? Whats youre impression on the install and quality?

Thanks! Ive seen other parts out there from Wolfsburg West etc, but theyre all insanely priced for a huge part when I only need a small section.  

Ill take a look now!

Bay window concerns /

I was thinking that, but then Id have to replace a whole bunch of other lines under there too... Here are some pics, maybe I'm not describing it dead on...

This is a smaller diameter hose than the HUGE one running down the middle, this runs parallel to thatHUGEone and is about the same diameter as the heater hoses on the t1 engine.

Bay window concerns / Heater hose/pipe
« on: March 18, 2012, 10:39:48 PM »
Looking to see where (I cant find it, largely because I dont know what its called) I can buy the long corrugated cardboard/foil tube that runs from the back of a bus, to the front of the bus. This tube is made of the same type construction and material as the hoses on the type 1 engine, but extends through the cross members in the bus as it traverses from the front of the engine, up to the duct work in the nose. Mine has a 3 foot long section "missing"



Im thinking 47a?
Altough 37 also looks like it, but seems like that is an earlier model exhaust judging by the heat exchangers...

INEEDABUS, I just replied to your PM. Im on Long Island, and dont forsee any issues helping you out if you need. My bus is a Westy, so I'm not sure how many people you need to put in, but lets talk and see what works.

VW stuff Wanted / Stock exhaust wanted
« on: May 28, 2011, 01:52:09 AM »
Looks like the bus is running good again. Going to give it a healthy run around the area tomorrow and make sure we really got it this time.

Through all my recent woes, Ive come to think its time to get rid of this sull 4-tip wannabe monza crapo exhausto that Ive got. Does anyone have a stock exaust set up for a FI 77 bay?

Hoping to find somthing in good, useable, presentable condition. If you got somthing, drop a line back or email me
mikeh at dasvolks dot com

Thanks!
