Hello all the vw folk.

I am restoring an old eureka kit car and theres no heater and a modified exhaust with no heat collectors. Its a 1800 kombi donk

Has anyone out there got some cool ideas on how to get my cabin warm and collect all that engine heat?
ps no baked bean jokes please....
thanks all . brrrrr

if you got money, score a petrol heater. Expensive though, UK ebay might be the go.

I saw these eber....things
very pricey and run on diesel
used in motorhomes...
itll heat the eureka and burn out my creditcard!

You can pick up a factory petrol heater on thesamba, a lot of vw's came with them in Europe and America, cheap to run.

There are also the 12v ceramic heaters on ebay,I don't think they will cook you but it should take the chill off.

Barls seems to know about it...

but I've always a heater in My Beetle and its used a lot during the winter.. I wouldn't be without one..
I did see some new electric heaters for sale in the UK

but the original type heaters are good, and don't use any extra fuel etc.. free hot air.. lol
