BobCat Wheels. Hey funbus, did you learn after chatting with Allan (owner of the V8 pic you have) that the wheels on this monster Dub come from a Bob Cat. Pretty heavy Duty stuff hey. Very nice machine. G'day Allan if your reading this. Thanks for the cooler. Cheers.
got dock back i got my printer dock back yesterday so i will start loading photos up on sunday that will be fun!
With the maroon van has he added that box bit on the engine acess lid in order for the big engine to fit or is it somehow for storage?
Hi Joel, the Maroon Vrrooombi is a real beast. It is owned by Allan (don't think he is on KC site). Allan had a lot of hassles getting this V8 rockin and rollin on Queensland Roads due to the modification. If I recall correctly, 307 V8, hugely flared guards to fit the Bobcat wheels, the box out the back is to fit the heavy duty cast iron engine and the cooling system is fed from air dams and fans beneath her belly and the twin exhaust is scary when fired up. The interior is very luxurious as well. Very nicely done. Allan is a plumber and has done most (if not all) of the work himself. Cheers
The bigger rear wheel diameter helps reduce the rpm's at cruise if it has a VW gearbox and a way to reduce the box on the back could be to re-locate the water pump. I've learnt a little about these things..............
Photo's I just had a friend that was at Klubfest give me some more photos so here they are. Hoops I thought you might like these
Hi M was wondering how your new camera was going?... love the pics you posted...especially the first one of hoops kombi...sweet pic.... Lovely expression on her little face...cute...she looks so glad to be there...lol Judy
Hi Judy These photos were taken by the man Adrian is working for he is out here from Germany to build the new Titans stadium. He loves everything Kombi but on Klubfest day he didn't arrive until everyone was packing up. He said there are no Kombi's left in Germany because they have all rusted out from the salt on the roads. He would love to take a heap of them back home with him. My camera is fine I think its the person behind it that needs the lessons. I havnt used it much but will give it a work out next weekend.
