Hello, good afternoon can I install the trim with the glass mounted on the car?

The Westy has a lower profile because the “ceiling” line on the inside is flat and lower, whereas the Riviera’s ceiling is a bus’ line (because it’s a bus). Loved the look of the old Sportsmobile of the late 60s early 70s. Penthouse like a Riv, but they had in my opinion, a cleaner shell and look when put up. I think the hardware to put the shell up was on the inside of the canvas of a Sportsmobile

I once had an English built ‘Devon’ camper (here in New Zealand) that had been re fitted with a westfalia interior by the previous owner. He preferred the Devon’s poptop roof but wanted the westy interior so he bought one of each, swapped the interiors and sold off the one he didn’t need. It was awesome! I didn’t own it for long unfortunately. I wish I never sold it. It went to a Porsche mechanic/ collector who wanted a camper-van for his family that also fitted in with his car collection

Dubs - there's no doubt you have the better bus.

You missed the most important difference, Westfalia fits in a garage the Riviera doesn't!

Woah, calm down Dubworks you got a little to excited here😊

The plaid in that westy is just plain awesome with yosemite yellow.

We had a ‘73 exactly like this one in 1978 when we were first married. (In AZ). I currently have a ‘67 that I restored - drove it around town running some errands today. Over the years I’ve had 5 bugs and enjoyed each one.

So Riviera's are shit. Check.

Cool video! I like the Westfalia roof better. The Riviera is long and tall, but I prefer having windows up top for air flow.

Keep us posted. Good to see you.

thxs for sharing...

Love the plaid interior.

Thanks 😊

👍

Dubster in effect!! Nice!

Psssst,we already saw the riviera Dubs 😉 😆

Nice to see you putting something up again….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So do you unplug the spark box

*DUBWERKS ARSON*

Hey man, The patch is coming together nicely. Q. What settings do you have your welder set at. ✌️ Peace

Have you welded any steel thinner than the 16 gauge yet?

Do you still have 63 rag top

Nice job do you still have this bus

alright i’ll give it a try. you made it look easy

Looks like totally rebuilt motor. 1600 single port. YES PUT THE DOG HOUSE BACK ON.....you cant see that from the front. it will run cooler on those hot summer days on long drives and no you dont need the thermostat if your driving it in the summer. If you dont believe me check with laser temp to heads. If after 10 minutes running time on a low temp day like 40 degrees the heads are above 160 it is unnecessary to have a thermostat. 160 is a totally safe running temp for any engine. Put back on a good single port manifold and call it good. Maybe while it is apart port the exhaust. That is the weak point of a single port. single port exhaust has sharp small hole and needs to be dressed up. Then they run much better.

Hi dub what was that red primer you were using?

Love it!!

Had this bus as a daily driver in Oregon for 5 years. 2005 to 2010. Went all over the Intermountain west and BC and to California and back. Same interior. Same yosemite yellow. Same motor. Got about 22mpg? I wish I had never sold it. Super fun rig. Not bad in snow.

Thank you! Great camera positioning.

Thank you so much for posting this.

My luck....I would paint a car and there would be a power outage.

You didn't know something about a VW? 🤔 You was scammed? 😯 Did you not look at it before you bought it? 🥴 I think it looks awesome. ❤❤

My 20 yr old son bought a 74 Westfalia last night. We go to pick it up today. We’re more than pumped to get started on his project. Good luck on yours!

Watching you open the top reminded me of a trip when I was very young with Mom and Dad in a 71 Sportsmobile. In a driving rain, late at night, my Dad struggled mightily trying to open the top. Later, after reading the directions, he found out that having a window or door open will allow the top to open easily. Oh, those airtight VWs! But you already knew that, didn’t you.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Amazing location for a VE meeting. Shame about the weather. Good to see that the Sun showed up in the end. The ride home 😳😳😳😳⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️

Great looking and original Bus. Love all the accessories. Congratulations !!

Love it. I graduated from HS in 73, driving a 70 bug. I want one again so much.

"This vehicle's not meant for this," made me laugh... No kidding!! I had two campers ('74 & '77) and three bugs ('66, '74 & '75) Only the bugs could handle that kind of weather. Worst case, they would float.

If you don't like the weather, pull off the road, find a cafe/read a book/go online for ............ VW's

Interesting video Duwerks. I noticed no one was pushing VW's around so Jay must not have been there. Sure miss your videos on your rebuilds.

Thanks for taking us along!

At least your wipers were working well LOL. Weren't there a lot more Ghias the last time you filmed the Gridlock on Governors?

@7:45 "We're taking on water Sir ..."

Keep pushin bro. Long time fan….more content if you feel like it.
