The "reputable" shop estimate for Buster the Bus just keeps getting crazier. Today, we’re talking about the brakes on my 1973 VW Westfalia. The quote for a brake booster alone was a staggering $3,800. Instead of writing that check, I rolled up my sleeves (and did a lot of part-hunting). I managed to do the entire brake system—not just the booster—for only $267. I’m 60 years old, I’m learning as I go, and I’m proving that owning a vintage VW doesn't have to break the bank if you’re willing to do the research yourself. In this video, I’m breaking down the cost difference and why it’s so important to get a second opinion (or just do it yourself!). What’s in this video: The breakdown of the $3,800 brake estimate. How I sourced parts for the entire system for under $300. Encouragement for fellow Westy owners to take control of their repairs. #VWBus #1973Westfalia #BrakeBooster #BudgetRestoration #BusterTheBus #WomenWhoRepair #VWType2 #AircooledVW #DIYBrakes

► Full test in Multihulls World N°171: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/bali-48-for-a-50-footer-she-has-everything-you-d-find-on-a-bigger-boat ► The Bali 4.8 is already a large model in the range - there are only the 5.4 and 5.8 who are bigger - and as it maximizes surface areas and volumes, you could be forgiven for thinking you were aboard a catamaran much larger than 50 feet... Of course, it offers all the Bali features - solid foredeck, interior completely free of bulkheads, tilt-and-turn door and huge 220 V refrigerators and a forward door as a bonus. The manufacturer offers five versions of layout. There is of course the attractive 3-cabin version with a huge owner's hull including separate toilet, interior companionway, but also direct access to the starboard transom; and 4 and 5-cabin versions. But where the 4.8 scores highest is by offering for the first time on a multihull under 50 feet… 6 double cabins and 6 private bathrooms. ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Bali Catamarans Length: 46’10” (14.28 m) Beam: 25’10” (7.88 m) Draft: 4’6” (1.36m) Light displacement: 32,630 lbs (14.8 t) Mainsail: 925 sq ft (86 m²) Self-tacking solent: 505 sq ft (47m²) Diesel: 264 US gal (1,000 l) Water: 295 US gal (1,120 l) Engines: 2 X 45/80 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
