Aloha, I'm new on here and would like to introduce myselth and this is my first Bay! (Had two Beetles, three T25's and a Squareback but always wanted a Bay). Recently bought this solid Pastell Weiss 1975 Panel van from a great guy in Colchester, he imported it from Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada a couple years ago where he had used it to transport his ice hockey kit around. Originally a bread van for a bakery in Medicine Hat. One of the workers bought the van from the bakery and sold it on to him after storing it for many years. Original 63k miles. Done a few bits on it over the last two weeks, got the horn working, washer bottle upgrade to motorised JK one, seats bolted in and three point front belts installed. Just put it through it's first MOT and it failed on N/S handbrake cable. While getting the handbrake sorted, had a full service, new shoes and pads and rear cylinders and front N/S wheel bearing. Good to go... It passed and the paperwork is in the post to the DVLA for getting it registered and taxed. Boom. Won't be ready for a trip to Busfest but no matter...
