There was a custom "long nose" German T3 at Vanfest last year, metallic burgundy colour, Borbets, mad bodykit etc.

I don't think we need to go all Plymouth Roadrunner on it though

Wow where is the bed?

Isn't that glorious?

Looking at the bus it does seem to have different "stance" than most on here and is very low at the rear , or high at the front. Think I'll check the spring ratings this afternoon and post some pics

[boxer]

Couldn't see any colours on the springs (except rust red). so here are the pics , taken of the bus facing both ways on the same piece of slightly sloping ground (downward left to right).

views please, do i need to lower the front, lift the rear or leave it alone. A spirit level on the gutter indicates that it is pointing uphill at the front in both photographs, just less so in the one facing right.

Yes but once you put a couple of adults in the front it drops and levels out.

Looks fine to me

[boxer]

Apparently two adults is not enough.my mate says as I pass his shop it rides high

[kevtherev]

What year is the van?
This came up on the forum sometime ago with ride height and the front was slightly higher
There was a year when VW did this, so you have a rare van.
How cool is that

E D I T... Ah it wasn't 1990
The colour marks are on the bottom or the top

mine looks like yours in stance

I just don't think it helps the problem with the light/vauge steering on motorways.

Going to look into fitting a cover on the roof tray on the weekend see if that helps with noise and a bit more 'downforce' LOL!

A front spoiler makes the biggest difference to handling, even on a standard ride height van. Less air under the front = stability.

is it a diesel van ? why not just add another rubber packer to rear spring seat to level it up

[boxer]

Rubber packet? Am I missing some in joke or does such a thing exist? It's a diesel not a Durex

packer.. yes that would work..like a shim under a cam follower

[boxer]

Ive checked and the packer is there already
