Bay window syncro

Post by syncropete »

Had a german guy visit me yesterday. He worked at the vw factory in the seventies. When he retired he was given one of the 4wd bay window vans. I have seen pictures of it. It has the tailpipe exiting through the rear bumper. It has been stored in a barn, and mice have eaten the electrics etc. Its available for cheap.
PM me for details.
Pete.

Now didn't i read that's what CJ's ultimate VW was (as detailed back when his green 16" SIKA was featured in one of the mags).....The seller's name isn't Herr A. Fueller is it?

There is a 1978 Bay Westie 4WD in the VW Museum. I crawled underneath to see the 4wd layout and take a few pics. Got funny looks.... :D

I think it is, and worse than that I phoned CJ to tell him about it and therefore broadcast my idiocy :oops:

Notice the driveshafts - front and rear - have Hardy Spicer Cardan U Joints as opposed to Birfield Joints (CV joint to the great unwashed )
