Re: Brandon's 71 Westy
Now I see why Josh needed more heat in the basement it was not so his wife could do laundry it was so he could build good looking VW engines. 

Re: Brandon's 71 Westy
Nah, I just rattle canned the heater boxes. I'm sure the paint will flake off soon enough, but they look good. And yes I'll drive the THING, it's too cool not to. It's my Honda that will not be getting driven.westy66 wrote:Looks like you ceramic coated those heater boxes. Your not even going to drive the Thing his summer.... I'm calling it

Re: Brandon's 71 Westy
Well, I stopped over Josh's house last night to pick up my now complete engine. We had to do a bit of welding on the exhaust but after that, we filled it with oil and fired it up in the driveway.

My first time I have ever welding anything!!


Listen to that baby purrrrrr (Click on picture, It's a VIDEO!!)

First ever VW powered Chevy Express Van? Ehhh, I don't think my dad would be very appreciative of that.

Re: Brandon's 71 Westy
Great job Brandon!
You've really come a long way in the mechanical department from when we all first met you.
And Josh has really got it going on!
I don't know how he finds the time between work, family, school, his own projects and all the time he spends with us!
