I picked up a bay just after the new year, I started looking it over the one afternoon to see just what I had gotten myself into...
Day 1
The pop up is from a '70 bay I use to have, I just need to replace the rotted out wood and put it on.

It reminds me of the black bug I had... Looks damn good from 20 feet away!
This one is more like 40 feet :)

Looking around the bus at some rust spots that will need attention soon.

Getting a look at the inside and the presents I was left. The AC unit behind the drivers seat is a Dealer installed Volkswagen item...

Looking in the engine bay... I see the need to replace the CV boots, might as well drop the tranny and do the shifter bushings too.
Will drain, and pull the tank. Get all the yuck out of it!
Also looking at the AC hoses, wiring going to need some straighten out.
The AC condenser and freon lines under the bus...
Day 2
I was a little under the weather this weekend. :pale:
But managed to get out Sunday afternoon while it was warm.

Long enough and finish cleaning out the back of the bay. She's pretty clean. Just a few surface rust spots that I will treat next time the weather permits.
The front will be next.
