Bus info: 1976 Trakkavan poptop camper with full camping interior.

Drivetrain: 2L twin-carb, 4-speed manual.

Modifications: None... I'm a stock-nazi.

Daily driver: Yes

Comments: Purchased the bus November 2005 with severe compression issues, which turned out to be the result of a cracked 3-4 head and burned valves in 3 and 4 cyl's. Since have replaced the offending head and it runs brilliantly... has a few annoying but harmless mechanical quirks that I am fixing one by one as I have the time.
