Pieces parts

Got my goodies.

I do not expect that I will increase air to the engine with these, but I am hoping I can increase air to the engine compartment and cool it off better.  These I got from Bullihutzen.

This was a truly magical smoke. I did not want to put it down. Bravo Cuba!  These I got in Paris.

Still not sure if I will like this, but I will give it a go.  Need to Dremel out the mask for fitment and get it painted the body color.  The grille mask, and the Heckeblendes I got from Rhoen Bull.

These Heckeblendes I like, always have.  Smoked taillights are debatable. They came as a package, so I will give them a try.  Heckeblendes will be painted black and attached to the taillights.

They even work with my (dirty) existing taillights. The other part I got was the appropriate Transporter badge for the 1984 model year.  Very happy I found those badges.

I have it on a good source that a number of these OE badges will become available soon here in the US.   Watch the wet coast for about 100 of these to be available for your purchase!

Bits and pieces

Met up with a used parts guy I have been getting some good stuff from lately.

He has a few Vanagons at his place, and a rotted out Westy that he has thus far refused to part out.  Bummer, I like the seats.

Anyway I got me a map door pocket for the passenger side, a spoiler for under the front bumper (yes still using the steel bumper), a new license plate door, front door seals (the ones that attach to pillar and seal door space from wind noise), couple headlight buckets (testing out a theory) and a brown grab handle for the drivers side pillar.  Still waiting on the radiator surrounds, and some new brown front door handle surrounds.

Earlier in the week I received some seat belt covers for the front belts, and yesterday I received my passenger side rear arch panel that had been backordered since October.

Time to tinker again.
