It is a rare day when I do not even ask what is the lowest you'll take.

According to the Sambanistas it was possible to get chrome bumpers as a dealer option.

Bus was bought new in Hixon at the VW dealer there.... Don something...

Don Wood. Getting chrome bumpers as a dealer option sounds right, I've also heard you could order the dash clock as an option too.

I just might have a fuel pump that would work for it too. I'll check tonight. I think I was looking for that for one of the last few buses you had too.

Just noticed I've been made a sticky, or I made a stinky.

Got some new shoes for the bus...
Found an add on CL for some 300D Mercedes wheels: (got 5 of them!)




Looking good, and the BFG trail cutters on the back are meaty.
Front = 195 60 14's
Rear = 205 60 14's

Looks good! Those almost look like the bottlecaps I have on the Rabbit.

KC, I got around finally to digging out my spare FI parts in the garage. I have a throttle body, wiring harness, charcoal canister, a set of intake runners (one injector mount missing), a computer, and two fuel pumps.

Nothing seemed to happen when I put 12 volts to one of the pumps, but the other did sound like it kicked on. You are welcome to try either one.

Thanks, We'll get together.
I have 4 injectors I am wanting to send off to have rebuilt, but 3 are white, and 1 is green.  I seem to remember that the colors mean a different flow pattern / volume for the different engines. All of them are Bosch injectors.
I would be interested in looking at your injectors as well to see what color they are.
Who redid your injectors?
Did they redo the cold start valve for you as well?
Thanks,
KC

All of my injectors are black with a green connector. I sent them off to Cruzin Performance, I sent him five in case one could not be redone. Highly recommended that you send yours off to him.

Here's photos of what they look like when they came back, plus a comparison of what one looked like before. He sends you a report that shows before and after tests, as you can see mine weren't great but after the rebuild they were a lot better.

If I dig some more, I may even have an old injector or two left over you could have rebuilt.
