There is a forum on thesamba that covers the beams, some have done major mods and there is a posting at the bottom of page 17, a pic of a Puma style adjuster is posted. From there it's a hit and miss on the subject. But it mentions doing the drilling and turning with the beam left in the bus. I...

Welcome back Mike, I've slipped out of my '70 bay and into a '73... Less noticed but still around. ;)

Yes sir, job well done!

Rebuild the 1600 and make it 1776, small cam, bigger valve heads and either a progressive 2 barrel carb or dual carbs. 8) It will fit right back in the engine compartment and cost less than the T4. ;)

I didn't care for the late bay's either until i got one with plans to resale it.... But it grew on me and I decided to keep it. :P

Looks perfect to me, a good ride is important also.

California Imports cip.com has the seals also, I would bet Wolfburg West seals would be better quality. A Richard Atwell has a web page of Bus info. http://www.ratwell.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This one is for the louvered windows...

Day 5 All of the AC system is out now. Along with about ten pounds of dirt! With the dash now removed I can inspect the nose more and see how the rust under the windshield looks. I can also make sure the wiring is okay and get it straighten up. I can also get a better idea of what...

Very nice looking bay. Wish I had my tax money back already!

Day 3 & 4 Front floor isn't too bad, passengers side has a spot with a hole to repair. Looking up into the nose are is good and rust clear. :) The blue box is a cruise control unit, The hand controls and the vacuum cylinder for it also. Will add pic later... Cruise control...

Okay, I see now. I thought the "Crossovers" were '72 only. This one was made last week of Dec. '72 for a '73 release year, so they were still using the Early bay sheet metal. 8) Thanks The Crossover Coalition sounds good. Late Bumper, Late Lights, Early Fuel Flap Club - L.B.L.L.E.F.F. Club...

Day 2 I was a little under the weather this weekend. But managed to get out Sunday afternoon while it was warm. Here are more pics of the AC evap. Long enough and finish cleaning out the back of the bay. She's pretty clean. Just a few surface rust spots that I will treat next...

Thanks Mate!

I had seen some pics of this UK bay a year or so ago. Can't locate them now. If I remember correctly the bumper support on the nose has been shaved off. Thanks for any help.

The Bay Project Started looking over the bay the other afternoon to see just what I had gotten myself into... The pop up is from the '70 bay, I just need to replace the rotted out wood and put it on. It reminds me of the black bug I had... Looks damn good from 20 feet away! This one is...

I checked out "latebay.com".... Not as I remember it to be. :?

Hey, two of us... We can start a chapter! :lol: You mind if I borrow your black sheep image?

I now have a '73 bay X westy. Last weekend I traded a super body with a bad tranny for a rolling hull with a good tranny. The guy picked it up for the interior for his westy. Didn't want this anymore. I had sold my '70 westy months ago and needed to have a bay back in my life. :lol: Going to...

Bump!

I'd roll in it. 8)
