New Burb Owner in the Forum

Thanks for all the encouragement. I told "Sub71" I'm like a 40 year old kid with a new toy. This thing is awesome. I just keep jumping from one thread to another gathering info.

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I think that seat is one of the coolest features.

Those look like original buckets for that rig. It appears you have a well optioned burb there. Can we get a pic of the options inside the glovebox door?

They did order it with some extra options. I'll get a photo of the glovebox. Plus I have all the documentation thru the mid 90's from the first 2 owners.

I noticed on your post you stated youwere going change from the VW Custom scene. There were two fellow ( brothers or cousins I think) that were from Las Vegas and actualy drove a Custom VW bus on one of the Bull Run Shows. Is that you ?

Nope not me, but good friends (they are brothers Bill and George). Here's a shot of my last home built project

That's a sweet van, love those colors.

Due to the fact that I'll be teaching my daughter to drive in this over the next few months, I've decided to forgo the air ride for now. Instead, I'm gonna do a disc brake conversion (staying 8 lug of course) and just drop it with springs and spindles. Safety, and my sanity, first.

On another note. Out here in the great state of Nevada, I still have to smog this beast. So after a quick tune-up and carb adjustment, the big 396 passed with flying colors. Just doin' my part to stay green....... Hahahahaha
