OK - I cannot even remeber how many years ago I bought this Bay....but it was a long time ago, its a swedish 1970 Kombi, it has all the early bay features, except, it has high late bay front inicators...but no lower deformation panel, i'm guessing the top half was replaced at somepoint...but it was well done as i'm yet to find any evidence of the work...
This is how it was when i collected it, many years ago
Its been dragged back & forth a few times between my home garage and my storage garage, getting the odd rub down or kick now and again, but no progress...just removed the cracked front screen and rubbed down some of the worse stone chips etc on the front panel
It was dragged back up out of sight for a while, until a couple years ago, I had a half hearted flurry of activity, basically, popped all the glass out, prepped the top half and gave it a little paint...not much really
The JK cover was thrown back on - I seem to recall, we then got a LOT of snow and basically the bus sat outside under its cover for a couple of year.....I really should have got some paint on that front panel before the snow & hibernation as the next picture shows, its got a bit of surface rust.....next picture was taken this weekend, we dragged it back down home and its now drying out in the garage, the front panel is half bare metalled , as I had a hang over on Sunday and chipping at old paint with a screw driver seemed to pass the day nicely.
