i rolled a 1968 microbus on a mountain road (#3 hiway around manning park), a pack of bikers stopped and helped us push it back rightside up and it cruised all the way home (white rock)
Do yourself a favor and phone your nearest VW repair shop and ask
them how much to replace the exhaust system on one of those pieces
of shit. That's why everyone you see flops down the road makin' all
that fuckin' noise...none of the shitheads who own them can afford
to repair them so they just drive the thing with bad exhaust till the
heads heat up and the engine seizes.

Fixing the exhaust system was no problem, just take a coffee can, split it down the middle, put it over the hole, and secure it with baling wire. Piece of cake.
The reason they siezed up had nothing to do with a faulty muffler, it had to do with not adjusting your valves.

I surf and wanted something big enough to throw boards in, plus something to travel in or pop some beach girls cherry in the back...
i owned one for the summer after graduating high school, it was a mint 1976 bright orange with a canopy top. My parents stole it from the owner at a garage sale for only $400. The timing belt was the only thing that needed to be replaced, that was like $200 i beleive. i partied like a mad man in that van, it made for a summer to remember... the cooler/fridge was always stocked with long necks.
the one bad thing about it was that in high wind conditions, the aerodynamics of the van pushed it around like a 5 pound weakling.

Originally posted by Myst why the fuck would you want a hippie van? do you WANT to get your ass kicked?
haha, firstly, if someone COULD kick my ass, I'd like to see it. Second, the vans are great, I don't like hippies much, I think the van would be great for travelling and keeping my surfing gear in while still being able to take a few people along with
