I like it here , can I stay ? :lol:
Just got myself a '73 Trinity camper conversion , original paint and some patina.
Trinity camper conversions where done in Ojai California , the company doesn't exist anymore but they did some interesting campers based on Deluxe buses in the late '60's and early '70s . I have not yet seen any split conversions from them , only early and late bays.
Anyways , this should not take much to get it road worthy and ready for Busfest , got my plane tickets , got me a bus so it's shaping up good already.
The bus belong to an old man , he bought it back in '86 from the original owner , he parked it in the back yard of his house and never moved it again.
Needless to say , it's a California bus with almost no rust issues , the bus is full of spare parts and other odd VW parts , I will start clean up and removal of old dirt and rubbish.
Here are the pictures from the Ebay when I bought it.
It sat on that same spot since 1986
While we were towing it from Los Angeles to San Diego one of the old tires blew up :shock:
I will load more pictures this weekend when I get to do some clean up , there are also lots of original receipts, manuals and even a picture taken when the old man bought the bus in '86
I know there is Latebay.com , I am a member and I will start a thread there too but you are not getting rid of me that easy , I will continue to upload progress of this rare beauty :mrgreen:
