*Sigh* Unfortunately and very regretfully we have decided the most humane thing to do for our Kombi is to sell her to someone who can provide what she deserves. We have hit a really hard spot. We are not selling her to get money, but because we don’t have the money anymore to fix her up and keep her running and we don’t have a garage or even a carport to put her in while we wait for a day when we will have the funds to get her going full time again. There are only a couple of things that need doing for her to be one fine ride, those are:
IMEDIATE NEED
New tire - she has a flat.. and the spare is flat too.
New battery - she just needs a new battery!
Petrol - she is out of petrol! LOL!
After that she is drivable but needs some extra lovin'
Steering is very loose - don’t know why, haven’t had it looked at
Carbies need an overhaul - they have been done enough for her to go fine, but we had to set the idle quite high to stop her from stalling. So it idles high in neutral and park, but low in drive and reverse. So when we stop at intersections and lights we have to put it in Neutral to prevent stalling.
Sliding door is missing a couple of mechanisms so it doesn’t open from the outside, but manually has to be opened from the inside, easy fix, just needs some missing parts.
I can get more photos of the inside if people require them 🙂
We have since taken the tyre off the front 😉
