1970 Bay Window "Leon"

I'm trying to.

Been driving the bay to work this week as O.B.'s tires are shot. It has done pretty good but it is very drafty and with no heat it is cold! I have to find some heater hoses so I can connect the heater boxes with the bus so I can get at least some kind of heat.

I have been ordering some stuff for it this week. I have a tag light, seat clamps, shift coupler and some rear tires coming for it. Hope I can get the tires on and the seats secured by next weekend so I can haul some folks around the Christmas lights.

Bryce,

What size hoses do you need? I have some scat tubing and a little factory tubing left you can have. I may not have enough length. I replaced mine on one of my cars from Myco in decatur.

I've had this problem my entire life! A cool car always makes up for it.

I actually found some in the garage this evening. I was talking about these http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D113%2D255%2D355%2DM

Thanks for the offer though

Hooked up my fresh air and heater controls. Now I just got to hook up the cables to the heater boxes and put my hoses on and I will have heat.

Also got the fuel gauge and horn working. The horn connections were just corroded and the wire that connects to the steering column tube was off. The fuel gauge needed a new connector and the ground wire hooked up.

Very nice, cool pics. I also need some new heater tubes and their on sale. where did u get your rear brake parts from? one of my rear cylinders is leaking.

I think I got the brake stuff from cip1

Hooked up the heat today! I think everything works on the bus now! Now I have to fix the oil leak and start putting new seals in to dry it in.

Sold my rims and tires to Phillip because I had wheels and tires that were just sitting in the garage. Here is the new setup for now.....
15x5 Torkers
195/50/15s up front
195/65/15s in da back

kickin myself!!

Looks good with the Torkers- I like the old Bays with the wide 5 pattern

Torkers look nice!!

Gives him a little bling....

Looks really nice in person, I'm really stoked to get "Moto" going now.

looks good now time to narrow an tub

Thanks I am really happy with how it is turning out. I am in between on the smoothies and the torkers though.....

Smoothies

smoothies for sure-


cant get looking better than that

Worked on putting in the headliner today! $27 for three sets of match stick blinds, a little hot glue and a little time.....I think it turned out pretty good. Not a new idea but a cheap and easy alternative to the $200 plus stock headliner.

Nice! looks good

nice bryce- where did you pick up the blinds?

Big Lots....they were $9 a piece for 48" x 72".....they had smaller ones and bigger ones

I'll bet it quieted it down a bunch- looks good!
