i agree ,was better than the kombis i looked at as most had rust

nice one.
so you're not looking for a 5+ seater anymore?
I was gonna offer you my Bay.

Hey

i got one of them!

Hey Pod, don't you have a matching suit that colour? :P Muhahaha!

Welcome to the Bus Club

Nice rides

anybody know how the heater controls are supposed to work

they dont

more than likely they buckled the cables.

If ya pull the radio you will see what i mean.

I jus connect and disconnect the heater tubes


I have they work shop manual if you need any help.

an ebay special for $20.00

is yours an auto or manual???

I have a few spares if ya need things.

its a manual,with air but it dont work either, well the fan does out the middle vent , had wires start to smoke on me this arvo from the switch next to the heater control but will just have to replace them and the switch ,not good as was the first time the missus had been in the car and get round the corner and that happened,and no fire extinguisher (have now) pulled some burnt looking wire off the fuse box, and it stopped smoking so time to iron out the little bugsblush

finally got off my backside and fitted tyres to my wheels and put them on:thumb



next is to lower her a couple of inches

I like

put my lower springs in today ,the ones i bought at valla ,looks tro me to be about 30mm lower as they were vw part no. springs it might settle more but its ok so far

very nice pod! when they settle it'll look even sweeter. that sits really nice, a good modest stance.

Are they the springs that were a factory option on caravelles in Europe? I heard that they were 30mm.

Also, how does it handle with the different wheel/tyre combo? What weel/tyre specs are they?

Thanks

Said it before and I'll say it again mate...Freddy looks like a million bucks! :bounce

I fitted factory lowered springs on my 90 Caravelle when I had it and they were only 30mm also - settled a little but not much more - still provide a nice ride

based on that aftershot photo i think a pair of 45mm springs that seem to be available from a few suppliers will be adequate (in terms of drop in ride height/looks) for my caravelle.

will have to cut 1 or 2 ribs out of the bumpstops on the front ,they are 14" merc rims off a 200se i think as i bought them up the local flea market
