And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Ya chances are it's in here already. I could have posted it for all I know. Popped in my head so no harm no foul.
Same for me, no idea on vehicle mechanics. I put a 1600cc from a 72 in it.Learned on the road, coast to coast a couple times and a bunch o laps on the west coast. Changed/upgraded most everything ,apart from body work and rebuilding the engine , with that book. Some funny stuff in there.
Wish I still had it. Restored they're going for 6 figures now

There used to be a place out west that always had a handful of restored for sale. Can't seem to find it on a search. May have been Go Westy or West Coast, but they dont have much. I'm considering getting back into the game...less the wrench.
Why is the subi motor not liked?

They're all about simple. Best to keep it pure. 1600 dual port suits it. You do have to tune them regularly but it's less than an hour to change the oil, distributor cap, points, rotor and set the valves. I always kept a spare distributor cap, rotor and points and just replaced my back up as soon as I tuned it. Bit uncomfortable outside in winter but its quick. For some reason always took 2 try's to set the points so eventually I just set them twice before I tried it. Seemed to work. Everything is ez to work on with the book, even rebuilding the engine although I never tried.

Have an '86 syncro in the garage waiting for someone to do the rejuvenation. Many offers, but it hurts to think about parting with it.

The syncro's had their own issues, but I always wanted one when I was living in the hills.
I don't know. I would like all new wiring and a more reliable motor. I get the keeping it pure, but I can't do that again. I don't want a Transit!..although they are functional. We sold our bus when my wife was pregnant with our first and now they're grown, so we can pull this off again. Dogs and go! I'm also willing to pay for a somewhat reliable ride now.
What year?
I like the '71 I think. Was that the first year with disc brakes? You can probably convert any year these days. I'm so out of touch with it all.

Get a magazine. There is a lot of online aftermarket stores that you can get anything. Drum to disc is good. You can even get aftermarket rocker panels that are shaped perfect for the bottom 3-4 inches. Pop rivet them on and fill the recessed lip with a tiny bit of mud, sand and repaint. Cheap too. 71 was drum. I'm not a fun of the boxy buses. If it's not a split front windshield I guess the next gen is ok. I think they go to late 70's. The 2000cc fuel injected engine has some spunk and doesn't need as much tuning. Still air cooled though. Later years the online diesel was too under powered and blew on the reg. 2000 injected can whip around traffic or do highway speeds pretty well. Low pro tires gives you some pep off the line in the city or good climbing mountains also more stable less body roll. I used to run eagle gt's most of the time for that reason. When I went cross country(prairies) I'd put on bigger wheels for faster cruising on the flatter open road

That's what I was waiting for him to do, especially after he was passed. He tried to stick with them. I thought " here we go". That roll cage is mint. All the way around the front, top to bottom. You dont want to run into anything front on in those things. Was always on my mind, especially with so so brakes
