I havent been able to sleep as I have been wracking my brains about whether to sell the 914 for a great bus, or not to. I have reached a decision and am going to sell my car. I have a bus in mind and it will be a great candidate for all of the bastardization that I have in mind while still being very solid. The part of the plan that sold me was that a bus can store its own parts. Its like a mobile storage unit for itself. I can free up my much needed garage space (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I know, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) I will get some as soon as one of my contacts takes some for me. I hope I am still welcome here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Really? After all that work you put into that 914, all those headaches, you aren't going to drive it for a while first? Wow, you must want a bus more than I thought.

Well, with how sweet your 914 is I would think you could get a bus and a 914 driver with the proceeds of the sale. Unless you are getting some 21 window jobbie.

Good luck, curious to see the pics of this beast that drove you to parting with that rad teener.

How are the jaws doing?

But...you can't AX a bus and you can't camp in a 914.

Why would someone put an air cooled engine in a water cooled bus (80)?

I am doing a similar thing, but with the turbo corvair engine and an air cooled westy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Vanagons were aircooled until 82 or 83

They also readily melted.

Probably for similar reasons a guy would sell a 914 (with a 6 yet) and buy a vanagan!

It would appear you never rode in The Thunderbus. True, I used to have to pull over on long, winding roads to allow traffic to get around me, but mostly so I COULD PASS 'EM ALL AGAIN! Probably the most fun vehicle I've ever owned, both in terms of utility and being a sleeper (in both definitions!).

Sold my first 914 in 1977 and bought a '72 bus - really missed the 914 but loved the bus. Fast forward to 2005 when I bought an '87 Westy and a couple of months later a '74 2.0 914. Best combination of vehicles I've ever had!

Now I'm in the process of putting a 3.3L subiesix in the Westy so I can tow the teener....Starship Narpfignugen. Did you know that the Vanagon wheelbase is only 13mm more than a 914?
