What would you be looking at for cash mate??

I bought a couple of JK panels for the front and they were a pretty bad fit. So bad in fact I didn't bother using them and bought some original genuine parts that had been imported from the states. The stuff FBI, Southern Kombi Parts etc sell ar all from broken / cut up buses. Check my thread...

Thanks for the comments guys, hopefully all the welding will be completed this weekend and I'll start to put it all back together again. Will get some more pics up then.

A little bit of progress this weekend. Due to bad weather yesterday I didn't get anything done on the van but I did go and get some new windscreen pillers. The pillars on mine were crusty on the outside skin and the the inner panel/Lower windscreen lip was rotten on the import Spoke to...

Quick shot of the pillar. The cuts were staggered so all 3 panels can be welded. Hard to see in the photos but noticed some filler that needed digging out. Ended up being about 6-7 mm thick. Luckily we had a spotter and slide hammer. Pulled the dent out a treat. Grinded back these joins...

So that was the next "Holy Sh!t what have I started" moment Ok, so this was the first 4 hours of work. The rest of the day was spent cleaning all the joints up. Day 2 Not a lot to show for the second day. The outer 2 front chassis legs were removed from the import and used to replace the...

Before we could cut anything off the van I had to strip the cab. This was a job I wasn't looking forward to as there were 5 guages wired in that didn't work but had a lot of wires going to them. This was one of those "holy sh!t what have I started" moments :eek: I started with the guages and...

We've had our bay for 3 years now and the rot has got worse on the front since we bought it. It needed work in the usual places like windscreen surround, front arches and lower front valance. It had been previously replaced with the repro front panel (high indicator cut outs and a bulge for the...

I have just done the front of mine with Waxoyl and Underseal. Painted everything accessable with the underseal and then sprayed waxoyl in the chasis legs and all parts I couldn't get a brush to. Word of warning though, Make sure you put some plastic sheets or cardboard down under the van as it...

Welds in adjusters to the top and bottom of the front beam, then 1 spline drop to the rear. Had mine done a few months back and couldn't recommend him enough.

Hi Mate What sort of money are you thinking for the roof?? I'm only in portsmouth and could collect this week Thanks Joe

Had my bay done last week by Justin. Spot on bloke that seemed to know his shit. Removed the beam, cleaned up, welded in the adjusters, Checked all the components while they are dismantled, bolt it all back together, drop 1 outer at the rear, make sure it's all level and adjust the tracking...

Hi could you PM me your number so I can give you a call. Live in portsmouth as well and have a friend who wants to come and look at it this week. Thanks Joe

Hi mate, where abouts are you??? Thanks Joe

Got a 10" drop down monitor as well waiting to get fitted in the rear, just never enough time to get all the jobs done :lol: But you all know that cos this is a VW forum.

Don't really want to change the headunit as it is a builtin 7" screen and dvd player Yeah can now. That looks cool. Quite liked the dual mounted front panel ones but now think no aerial at all would be better,

Hmmm can't see the photo

Not thought of that idea. You just using a standard external aerial but put it on the inside??? or is it a specific aerial for inside???

Hi, I have a 72 crossover bay and am currently changing the look of my late front panel to look original i.e. Remove the indicators from the top and cut in the lower ones. My question is on an original Bay where was the aerial for the radio located. At the moment I have one on the roof above...

Spoke to the guy @ FBI who I bought the bulb holder units from, and he confirmed there should of been some white plastic bulb connectors with them. Should get them this week :D Thanks for the reply Joe
