Just after lunch, I went to a local upholsterer for advice. I want to change the interior of my Porsche (retro-fitting a plaid-motive on the seats). This local upholsterer is known for his love for old VW's. I didn't expect to see 3 (THREE) T1's, including one with 'Porsche' on the doors.
I think it's not only the looks of the car but the total ambience of the cars, the fabrics, the sewing machines and -not pictured- the young & enthusiast couple (man and woman) that run the place! They didn't have the fabric I am after, but man, despite that, I left that place in a good mood! Great cars, great young & very friendly people with love for classics!

QUOTE(theer @ Mar 21 2018, 05:29 AM)  Sweet! love to see that. I think T1 is the Beetle, the bus is T2. Nope - T1, T2, etc. is the version designation that VW uses for all models .... at least at this late date (they may have started with the moniker you said). Even the VW Classic Parts website calls the Splitty's T1, Bay Windows T2, Vanagons T3 (T3a aircooled, T3B WBX - except that the Brits call it a T25 - WTF 8-/ ), Eurovans T4, then T5> we never got here in the USA. https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/...ransporter.html > check the top drop down menu See T25 Vanagon on left bank - & these guys had some hard to get parts for my 88 Westy resto too - https://www.vwheritage.com/ BUT - the best place to get VW parts is Gunzl/VW Bus Shop linked below; & it's where GoWesty, Bus Depot, Van Cafe, etc. get theirs & then upcharge you for them! Only takes PayPal, but delivery is 1-2 weeks max.! https://www.vwbusshop.de/epages/GuenzlClass...arts/Categories Bus Depot held up my 88 Westy T3b's resto for 9+ months while they waited to have Gunzl fill a container & send it by Paddlewheeler to the US, on parts that they said were in stock with them! A-holes!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) PS - Some of all of the above's VW parts from the 1969-76+ era also fit the 914, & were the original parts used by VW-Porsche, but consult a parts interchange catalog &/or the free PDF download of the Porsche 914 PET parts catalog available at the Porsche website's Classics section under documents. VW parts are most of the ones not starting with 914- or other Porsche model part numbers (910, etc.). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
