Hello from Wiltshire and Got myself a 76 bay!!!!!!! Now with pics

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourselves' started by 1050Ron, Sep 6, 2013.

  1. First things first Hello everybody forum looks excellent!

    I have just bought a 1976 yellow bay called Sunny,
    Its in ok condition the rear panels and engine bay have all just been welded/replaced all the brakes have just been serviced new flexi hoses etc. It had a new engine about 3 years ago its got the 1600 Mexico engine shes done 7000 miles on the new engine. Its also got the westy pop top roof on which is in need of a new canvas but non of the interior cuboards. It does have a full size rock and roll bed which is a bonus we are treating it as a blank canvas i know its not original but we can put our own stamp on her. It also needs new driver and passenger doors one has got a dent in it and the rust is pocking through. MOT till May though so every cloud! It also has the original 1970,s awning and a modern awning.
    Cant wait to get away in her for our first weekend away hoping to get to Berekley for the show thinking of going away the night before then coming to the show on the Sunday to get some ideas and info.

    We are proper excited about getting Sunny we have now been able to afford one so we took the plunge me and the missus arnt that mechannicly minded but we are willing to learn and want to do a lot of the work ourselves we have a welder in the form of my missus dad and for the rest we have this forum.

    Thank you and hope to meet you all soon im located in Swindon so if anybody wants to meet up for van chat and general chit chat and a pint let me know.

  4. Congrats & welcome, if your looking for help to do things yourself then this is the place :thumbsup:

    Firstly get some pics up, we love pics here & then search out the Techenders thread which for a novice like me is a brilliant event where we camp for the weekend and peeps that can service & have already done jobs you want to do are at hand to point you in the right direction & help if you get stuck :D
