Hi all,
I currently own a ’69 Bug but have now decided after spending the weekend at the Brighton Breeze in my parents T25 that I need a bay in my life!
Me and the Mrs had a fantastic weekend but we’ve both agreed that an early bay needs to be added to our growing collection.
Would prefer a tintop and we’re not too fussed about the condition inside as long as it’s fairly solid body wise.
Hope to speak to some of you soon.

Hi and welcome, not selling but maybe if you give us your budget the offers will come flooding in

Ello Nettles,,, like the name, where did that come from ???? This is really the only forum, if you`re talking earlies, and pretty much the only forum if you like friendly. Funny how the early bay seems to catch the imagination with a hint of reality and do-ability (made up word) so welcome and join in and ask all the questions you like, no one will say on here "do a search" or that was posted the day before last Friday or anything like that It`s one of the few forums with no bad apples.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,, Loves his earlybay fix :mrgreen: :lol:

Hi guys,

Nettles is an abbreviation of my surname and it’s been my nickname for as long as I can remember.
I’ve only been into the VeeDub scene for a short while and as I mentioned before I currently drive a ’69 Beetle.
I’ve always really been into my Fords but since joining the VW stable I discovered a different type of atmosphere with the events and shows I’ve attended.
I have friends that own bays and since spending the weekend at the Brighton Breeze, me and Mrs Nettles are deffo up for some early bay action!

We’ve set a budget of around 5K for a bay, so at the moment we’re window shopping to see what’s out there. I have no problem with repairing bodywork but I already have a few other projects on the go so we’re really after something that’s not too much of a project. We’re not worried about the interior, just the bodywork really.

We would prefer a tintop but we will consider others depending on the condition. Would also prefer RHD.

The site looks great and I hope to chat to you all soon.

Hey Nettles,, we do a fair old bit of chattin on here :mrgreen: Especially when we is waiting for the Stella to run it`s course and then we can go to bed :lol:

Ozziedog,,,,,, Don`t actually touch the stuff meself ! :lol: :lol:

You and Mrs Nettles have made the right choice

Don't be too hasty about which side the steering wheel is on though - you could spend many, many months searching for an elusive RHD where you could get an equally pretty (and probably more solid, ahem) import from across the pond :msn4:

what he says ^^^

A UK bus for that price will need a lot of work to get right, it may look good on the outside but will be patched/filled everywhere.

You can get a good US bus that will need minimal work for around the same price landed and delivered, i receommened it

 

[Nettles]

Cheers for the replies. I have friends with both RHD and LHD bays and of course if a good solid LHD bay came up at the right price then I would deffo be interested.

Thanks for the advice. This is the third time we've considered buying a bay window camper, but this time it's going to happen!
I just wish we brought one last time we were window shopping a few years ago because the prices were a lot cheaper back then. :lol:
