Post by: Crank on December 19, 2008, 10:02:55 PM: My 58 kombi is my daily these days...

I could use a new set of heater boxes for sure...
but this mexican blanket sure is warm!
Hmm, I should probably update the heater duct insulation,
and now I know first hand why all seals around the pedals etc.
should be installed!

Oh ya... Bring hot coffee, just don't fog up the windows with it. :P

First winter in a long time I've had a bug on the road. Put in an electric heater to help with the heat though. Fun in the snow!

Found them on Craigslist $30 pr. 16S5R15 mounted on stock wheels. Looks like barely one season use.

I was going to but, there are not many takers and The Bug's tires would not be good on snow. I will have to take the van.
