Sam's 67 1500 pt.4 - Inside Job

Dynamat Sound proofing has been fitted from pedals through to rear window and a couple of spare bits to the roof! Then the laser cut and folded steel seat mounts were test fit to make sure the height is OK. Seats are 911 and real comfortable.

Sam's 67 1500 pt.3 - Mostly underneath

All chassis bottom and inner wings have been stone chipped, 6 litres! Brake pipes are full stainless overbraided though out and new master cylinder installed. Axle boots renewed and gearbox oil changed.

Sam's 67 1500 pt.2 - A New Hope!

Before it gets buried completely...this is our restart point.

We've cleared the garage, fitted and welded the rear panel and done a couple of other chassis repairs. Then we sealed it all with POR15.

Sam's 67 1500 pt.1 - Its back on the road!

Over the last 6 years we have done very little work in very short stints! Sam has decided to get us motivated and do something everyday.
When we bought the car is was torn apart with several holes through the panel under the back seat/battery and all the headlining stripped off. It did come with the original towel rail bumpers rechromed and a new panel for under the back seat. Thanks!

Below is how it came to us

 We did the battery tray and cut out the panel under the rear window. Sam doing a bit of welding here!

There should be a panel to stop you seeing this view!

Thats about as far as we got....

Andrew's Westy gets Wishbones and a stripe!

Andrew has just been to Manflowers for his fitting...he knidly send us a picture and comments!
Hi Simon,


I would just like to email and tell you how my van is following the suspension and brake upgrade.

It handles so well and gives me so much more confidence in approaching bends and junctions.

Not going to be going too fast with the standard 1600 engine in, but definitely better at maintaining speed in the turny bits.

Lee at Manflowers sorted the bus in quick time as he said he would. Despite prepping for Busfest that week.

Closing for International Show Duties!

We have finally given in to pressure from our European cousins, to come and show them our goods! So we are away attending Shows on the European continent so the Works will be closed from the 7^th of June until the 2^nd of July.

We’re not sure what mobile/email coverage we will have, so if you need anything it would be best to email the normal address on the ‘Contact’ page and we will get back to you on our return.

Chris' Super Crew Cab

Chris sent us a great couple of  pics of his crew cab..its got an EZ rider coilover conversion.

We do like a Crew Cab!

here's what he had to say...
I bought your EZ Rider Coil Over kit from yourselves some months ago and with the summer coming I managed to get it fitted. And I must say what an easy job it was to do. A couple of hours in the garage and its transformed my bay crew cab. Ive recently drove my VW over some winding country roads and the ride and control was fantastic and to say I had a smile on my face was an understatement. So again I say thank you and by far the best money i've spent on the van so far.
