1965 volkswagen bus This is a factory German 11 window standard
sunroof (golde) walk-through bus with factory belly pans. It was
originally sea blue/blue white color scheme. At some point, the
previous owner had built it into a camper of sorts. Since I've
acquired it, I bought a new full width middle seat (which it came
with from the factory, oddly enough, though this one is a WW repro)
and a rear seat. I bought a full Sewfine interior kit, which I
installed myself. I've never done it before and screwed up in a
couple places. It's by no means perfect, but it made me happy to
learn and do it myself. New window rubber and door seals all the
way around. (minus rear hatch seal) Doors are still super tight
with new gaskets. The transaxle is strong. The engine runs well,
though at high rpms once it warms up, it has an intermittent
grinding sound. Previously written:Anything above 50 mph or so, the
noise shows up. I have identified the noise as being an engine
issue. When I rev it in neutral after the engine is warm, it makes
the noise in the higher rpm range. I've subsequently shimmed the
front pulley of the alternator and that seems to have made a
significant change with the engine noise. I just completed a 45
minute drive to include the freeway going up to 70, and the noise
was no longer present. Seems like it is/was an alternator/fan
issue. It has been hit in the nose and has bondo there and in a few
other places around the bus. I've replaced any major cancer, which
was the cargo floor just below the cargo doors, the bottom of both
b-pillars and the battery tray. There are a few small holes maybe a
cm in the front floor. I had the speedo rebuilt by Orange County
Speedo. All vin markings and m-code plate are present. You're
likely to be the only one at a VW show with a standard sunroof.
