Welcome to the org!

Enjoy your New Beetle; it is really a nice car

Your Subaru-powered Westfalia Bus is interesting!
It has enough of power now...?


Greetings from Finland

Nice Westy! My FIL has one as well. What Subaru motor is in it? He's got a 2.2 in his '84 Wolfsburg camper. Its pretty sweet.

Love the NB too. Techno Blue is the best color

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone !!!

My Westy also has a Subie 2.2 Minw was originally air cooled, so I was able to double the original HP by adding the the 2.2.

In the past, I have had many split window buses... and I will again one day...
