My first Bay - 1968 pop up camper, soon to be Cal Look!

[Brian Watts]

Well, got the bus transferred into my name and registered so it's all legal.

I had to drive it to DMV to have it verified and so it was the first time I drove it on the road.

I was happy to find out that the transmission shifted clean in all gears and doesn't pop out
Not sure what this knob does under driver seat?


Any help for a newbie?

Looks like the bus will make Bug O Rama

Open the rear heater vents behind the front seat bulkheads.

 

[Araon]

it operates the vent under the walkthrough to the rear cargo/passenger area...

is the headlight switch turned right down? dash illumination brightness control....

 

[TheBusDriver]

Yes The dash Lights get brighter as you turn the knob. if it is turned all the way to the left the dash light will be off.

 

[Brian Watts]

Heater knob, thanks.

Dont have a manual yet so some stuff is a mystery but fun learning.

Yea power at switch but it goes away before gauges? Fuses good, and bulbs good.

I will chases it still,

Thanks guys

Wow they look ace, bet you can't wait to get them on :mrgreen:

 

[Brian Watts]

Like a kid before Christmas!!!

Got to narrow the from beam first and add the 944 Porsche brakes. Not a overnight upgrade unfortunately

But got the extra front beam so I can get it narrowed and rebuilt for a future swap

 

[Brian Watts]

gotta get a correct rear seat. The one I bought ended up to work but isn't right so need to find the right one

And other little fixes like dash lights coming up

look at the weather!! wish we had that at our shows
nice van keep it up.

 

[Brian Watts]

Yea the sun is shining your right, but instead of rain sometimes we have to deal with the heat which gets up to 110 or higher and thats no fun!!

 

[windsurfer]

Loving the Fuch and the Gene Berg shifter. I'd love one but they're hard to find over here :mrgreen:
Sweet ride.

 

[Brian Watts]

Anyone have ideas how to fix my front emblem?

The holes have been ripped out as you can see. Yes I understand that I can weld them up

Ideas or experience on dealing with this will be appreciated, Thanks

Brian

Been awhile since I updated the thread.

I am still working on the bay but slowed down waiting on time and money around the holidays.

Got new speakers front and rear with a bass box for it.

Got a line on the 944 brakes which would be great to getting closer to getting my Fuchs actually on the bus instead of the garage floor!

Looking for stickers to put on the windows to personalize it and make it mine!

More to come soon!
