New to EarlyBay ? Say Hi here ...

[Low&Slow]

Hey there!
Been on and off this site for a while, finally joined, as you all seem such a friendly and helpful bunch!
Bought ourselves a 72 crossover about 3 months ago after looking for our perfect resto project. We found her sitting in a barn in Devon where she had stood still for 4 years painted in blue hammerite and looking very sad!
She's currently in primer and already looking a 100 X better, we gutted her as the d.i.y r/r bed that was in there was...er...interesting and she's been lowered....lucky for me, my hubby runs his own garage where he specializes in late vw/audi.......I'm now pushing him towards early vw :wink:
Any way.....I'm looking forward to getting more tips off you guys....I already posted one question and got a responce within a nano second....Thanks!!!

Hi Everybody!
I am Marco, from Italy.
I live near Milan and I am the proud owner of a '72 Chianti Rot Panelvan.
I've had also a 1969 tippertruck, and I've sold it last year.
If you want, you can make a tour on nostalgiaspeedgarage.blogspot.com
It is the blog of a small garage, that I own with some friends, were we work on our vw's.
Have a nice day!

Hi, Everyone! Been looking on the forum for ages, i actually thought i registered ages ago, but seems i hadn't! Anyway i am without a beloved camper (always wanted one but over the last year or so it's become a bit of an obsession!!) at the moment but the intention is to get one sooner rather than later!! as soon as i get the money together, Hopefully a dormobile!

Hi Everyone,

I have been on the boards for a week or so but have decided that I should properly introduce you to my bus. Her Name is Lalita Tripura Sundari (The Red Goddess) The kids have nicknamed her Betty!

She is a 1972 Crossover Dormobile with all the insides taken out and only has a double rock n roll bed in the back. I am hoping to put a campershak interior into her and go back to a 3/4 bed.

Many thanks to the previous owner who had her for 6 years and has done a lot to get the bodywork looking good and her running well. (Thankfully, as the gearbox has just gone in the landrover :evil: , and I am now using her as my daily driver.)

Here are some photo's.

As I am new to the Type 2 scene and would like to make sure she looks reasonably original, I would be grateful for any comments.

Howdy !

My name is Steph...

I have a 1972 Kombi... her name is Ossie.

Have had her for 1 year now - she is an import from Down Under so know very little about her history... Have had an interesting summer what with one thing and another mechanically speaking - am so on a steep learning curve so thought I'd take the plunge... stop lurking, say hi and then I'll start picking your brains when things go wrong !!!

 

[flynster]

welcome steph good looking bus....loads of peeps on here to help with probs
enjoy 8) 8) :mrgreen:

Hi everyone, just registered to earlybay after looking at some of the awesome vans in the gallery section - some fantastic restoration jobs being done, slightly envious to say the least!
I'm Mark, my partner is Michelle & currently looking to get ourselves a bay of some sort in late january 2009 (preferably a tintop) after seeking some information out in the coming weeks/months. So I'm sure there will be a host of questions posted.
Hope to seek some answers soon!
Mark
