83 red 007 vw highfloor

[CRSMP5]

this one i had heard about for a few years.. he is interested in a 5 speed swap.. but till a week ago i have never talked to him or met him..

his waterpump had started to fail.. the bearings.. and for his holiday trip needed replaced.. so i gotta see it finally..


its been painted a few times.. at one point it was purpal..




its the first pre 85 that ive seen with the sticker on the window.. to go with its 007 vin # i think its pretty neet kub..

This van is mine. Rather than post more pics of it, I thought I would just claim ownership of it. I might post more pics but right now it is 9am and 10 degrees and I don't want to go outside

Nice looking vehicle, I especially like the diesel inside stickers, did you find those or make them ?
I notice the paint is not sticking so well in a few places.
When we painted ours it's Red too, (interlux marine paint *) we sanded the hole thing and then put an epoxy sealer, followed by primer, then the red.
Where we had bare aluminum showing we cleaned it thoroughly and then used aluminum primer before the above.
It's been 18 months now and it still looks pretty good.

*we used the interlux because we had a couple of gallons left over from painting our boat, we ordered way too much.

you can buy them on ebay... i made some for my burnt toast as i have a plotter/cutter...



is my next project...

sadly who ever did the previous paintwork on it sucked... its way too thick in places and is pealing from that... needs a good striping..

when doing the waterpump i told the owner the headgasket is starting to fail.. pressurizing the cooling system a titch bit.. so on its way over for that today...

Red, white and Blue, Nice.
I think if you save this as a smaller size they might display the whole picture.
I downloaded it and it is complete, just not viewing on the BB.
I checked this in the system before and it seems to be set for the max

your correct... dislikes my 1200 pixel wide pics... but im hotlinking from my webpages... so unless i wanna make 2 sized photo pics then i run into a issue and since i view the web on my 42" flatscreen.. small pics suck.. also with no real dial up anymore.. no reason for small pics..

dont see many rear barn door ones.. but i gotta ask... when up does it work like a rear wing

Hi OXBOW, I know this was sometime back but I too am in the Kingston area. Did these vans go up to the Shandakan area?

I'm looking for a pair of bumpers and headlight trim just wondering if he would have any parts around.
