NEW pop top TENT & LIFT ASSIST install | Westfalia upgrades!

[@briangentle5515]

Well done! My wife and I had a 1982 Westfalia Joker (the European equivalent to your Vanagon). We had it for 12 glorious years and I still miss it. Every year I had to do the "Michael Angelo" thing cleaning the mould from the roof and the canvas of the upper tent, as it lived outside. In the winter we would remove the upper matras to allow air to circulate a bit up there, but I still had to clean every year. Wishing you loads of fun with your van.

We notice the wedding ring on Matt and said to ourselves "they got married!!!!" Congrats! You did a project together as a married couple and are still speaking to each other! :)

[@mattofstie9298]

Haha, thanks! 😂

New tent looks great. Appreciate your honesty over your error and showing us how you realised/fixed it - stuff like this never goes quite perfectly first time.

[@mattofstie9298]

Yup, these things happen. Especially when you don't follow the instructions!

[@chynawall8500]

Great job guys! This was fun to watch.

It's very nice if we also have campervan like this... We are beginer campervan from Indonesia... We want to explore indonesia and share to all people... Thank 's for your video... It' s very cool....

Nothing is as easy as it should be when working on vehicles. Clifford is looking really great. Perfectly named vehicle by the way. Couldn't be better.

[@jeepercreepers54]

That's a hell of a job to take on. Well done and thanks for the video.

Thats amazing. Love to see your vlog. Keep inspiring us to make awesome video.

[@OffRampAdventures]

Extreme congratulations! Many happy van builds together!

[@vclamp]

I hope that you two get to put your new Sunbrella to good use soon! This video has more innuendo than the next ten such laden videos combined. 🤣 Married people! I tellz ya what! 💞

[@garyp.7501]

GoWesty has a middle mount position that you have to drill two bolt holes in the van, or a more forward position for even heavier loads. I have mine in this middle position and it's still easy to lower the top without anything on it and enough of a lift if I have the rack up there with a couple of surf boards on it.

[@brandonbecca6932]

I love westies so much! I hope to have one some day

[@mirandaalexis]

i love the tent upgrade, makes it look nicer

[@tekneedstea5510]

Hi Nadine! Keep up the good work! If I had one suggestion, it would to maybe do another Q and A. With this whole quarantine thing right now, I think it would be a easy to execute and I know a lot of us would enjoy it! Loved the video. Have a good day!

In a few videos time for sure!!

[@kellykane8559]

Great video! Love that you were honest about it. I'm replacing the canvas in my '74 Westy, and I'm having such trouble with the corners, especially the back ones where it's more cramped (my pop up opens to the front of the bus). I've followed the directions exactly and have replaced the canvas in the exact same way as the previous one was installed. Mine is a screw in and similar to yours. I've got terrible near-vision too, so getting the screws into the railing, through the canvas, and into the screw holes on the bus body is a struggle with my terrible vision. Any tips for working for those back corners? Much appreciated!

Just bought a 1982 Vanagon Westfalia diesel. Can I ask you guys for help? Love your channel.

[@mattofstie9298]

That's awesome! Not sure how much help we'll be since we're quite new to the Westys as well. Check out the forums at TheSamba.com if you haven't already. There's so much information about Vanagons, Westys, and the different years/engines. And if there is something you can't find info on, just ask a question and there are lots of people to help

[@nemobuscaptain3245]

how do you like closing your top now? Im over six foot and around two fitty and I have to hang from the top to close it. Removed the struts. Unless you have weight on their permantly I'd avoid these stupid things.

[@joshuatoral5105]

I love the way your van sits! Could I get some info on your wheel and tire size? 😁 Also has the suspension been upgraded?

[@mattofstie9298]

One of the previous owners put in a 1.5" lift. Wheels are 16" but I don't know the tire size off hand. The circumference is very similar to stock, just slightly larger and wider

[@joshuatoral5105]

@@mattofstie9298 whenever you get a chance to see the tire size I’d greatly appreciate if you posted it! Thanks for the info too! I have an 87 westy Syncro. Brilliantly designed machines

How are Westy's on gas? They are pretty big, but I think they have a small 4 cylinder engine.

[@mattofstie9298]

Not great on gas. They're quite heavy when they're all loaded up and you're right, they have a 90hp 2.1L 4 cylinder engine. We average about 18-20 mpg

[@jenniferbawden6058]

So are we going to get a wedding video??

[@heynadine]

Heheh next up

[@karlahernandez5750]

The canvas is not easy to replace. I did it once, will NEVER do it again! We didn't take the top off.

[@JohnWCR]

Your top has a vent. Is that stock?

[@mattofstie9298]

Yup, it is. Does your '82 not have one?

[@JohnWCR]

Mine does not have the vent I do not think. I just bought it but have no got it yet. The seller is delivering next week. I paid to have it inspected by a professional and he did a thorough job and sent picture of everything. I will keep you posted and will ask you questions when I need help. Yes I know Sombra.
