1975 Bay Highroof camper build

Got some more new parts from the JK team


Scored these NOS parts for the BA6 Eber heater on the web

Bought this new BERU glowplug GZE201 from Brickwerks in the UK, this is replacement for BZE22. The end/tip looks little diffrent from the old one, have anyone here used this new plug? If someone have tried let us know if it works good!

 

The undercarrige have been all cleaned up after removing the old crisp undercoating. Now its time to put the new one on!



New undercoating

Choosed white undercoating because it will work as a base for the Marino yellow paint much better then a black one.

 

Chassi painted in VW L20a Marino Yellow

 

Very nice! Will be interested to see what you do with it! I decided to leave the roof intact and put a louvre window in.

 

More parts painted



Needed some work


Also made a custom mesh in stainless for the backside but forgot to take photo on that, coming later...

 

Cool! Do you have a thread on your bus or pics somewhere?

 

NOS roofrack with woodslats that I maybe will fit to the bus later on with solarpanels etc

 

Great restoration going on here!

How'd you get on with the epoxy? I've done our underside with epoxy mastic and am planning to do the outside with auto epoxy to seal the metal.

Thank you James!

Restoration of the front beam/axle. New needlebearings, bushings, balljoints, steeringdampner, piviotarm and bush, greasezerks, shocks and all new brakes and wheelbearings etc.



Modified to accept New VW T2 Bay brakeservo

Sandblasted beam

Primer

Topcoat in Deepblack paint

 

After epoxy I will put on Surfacer High solid primer that fill small imperfections and sand easy, and then paint. Epoxy is great to have in bottom on naked metal.

 

Same plan as me then. I've a long way to go yet though.

New needles bearings 4pcs

Made and used this washer to pull the old ones out of the tubes


8mm needed to get the new bearing back at the right place or it will eat torsionarms

 

Nice work, nice workshop
