1970 Bay Window

Attorney Isaiah Loophole · Subject: 1970 Bay Window Fri Aug 28, 2009 6:15 pm

Found this bus on the samba and craigslist. It was less than 20 minutes from the house so I figured I would check it out. After looking it over, me and p.o. (Brad) struck a deal and the bus was delivered the next day. Well after a quick scrub the respray color is coming back. It was originally green with a white top.

Only progress so far has been putting roller tire on, washing the outside and vacuuming the inside. Next is going to be a complete scrubbing of the interior. Then I am going to pull the engine, clean it up and check it out to see if it is usable.

you are so lucky, you keep finding these great deals. You should become a VW treasure hunter. That bay is 10 times in better shape than mine, and I bet you probably paid less than me Shocked

Heard some of the plans for the bay over the last week. Possible corvair power with the powerglide tranny.....

GOT THE ENGINE AND TRANS OUT TODAY...LITTLE MORE WORK THAN A VW!!! I WILL DO A GENERAL TUNE UP AND MOST LIKELY HAVE TO REBUILD THE CARBS...BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE ENGINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE. I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE THE ADAPTERS FOR THE AXLES AND MAKE SOME MOUNTS,NOTHING TOO BAD. I CANT WAIT TO GET THIS THING IN THE BUS. I WILL POST PICS AS SOON AS I CAN GET SOME.
