Thank you Raj!! You're a savior haha. Otherwise my bus would have been a nice driveway ornament until I was able to order the right piece

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
Thanks everyone! Next up I'm learning how to replace the clutch cable and clutch sleeve with Mike. Then I'm toying with the idea of reupholstering. I just don't want to start something that's going to take me forever since work started up again full time. I might hold off until the fall when I won't ...

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
Floor went in yesterday. It really wasn't hard to do at all. Had some help from my cousin's husband and their dog, who clearly knows his German roots!

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
Good call, I didn't even think of that. Also, my regulator for the propane tank is shot. I'll actually head over there now and see if they have some before they close

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
Yea Tom, I didn't think so either, but I figured just in case. I'm going to check out Lowes and Home Depot tonight and see if they have that marine grade plywood. Thanks for the advice!

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
I began pulling the carpet out today. I was pretty much able to get the carpet out all in one piece just in case anyone was to ever wanted it (don't think anyone would, it's really stained and gross, but you never know.) The wood underneath is pretty rotted; I didn't pull it out yet, just in case ...

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
Should I be posting this stuff under the garage space forum? I don't wanna start off by breaking any DVG etiquette!

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
I actually ordered two of all of those things listed. I have to check out those fuel lines too. The two things that every single person has told me has either been 1) I have the wrong tires or 2) check your fuel lines

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
Thanks everyone! I checked out those other threads and they look very useful. I'm having some trouble shifting and it is getting progressively worse. Mike had me order a new clutch cable, clevis pins and clutch cable sleeve. Hopefully that takes care of the problem since the sleeve on there now is ...

Re: Kyle's '76 Westy
I tried but it's too dark now. I will tomorrow morning. Wheels need some TLC but I'm going to paint them when I get new tires in a week or two. TLC wheels with the right hubcaps still look 100x better than those plastic ones though!

Kyle's '76 Westy
Hey everyone, I met a bunch of you last weekend, but I'm new to the club. I just got a 1976 Westy named Janis about a month ago after a LONG search. I'll be doing a bunch of stuff to my bus over the next few weeks and figured I'd document it on here. I got rid of those horrible plastic rims already ...
