My 'almost' finished 77 Bay

Discussion in 'Show Us Your Ride' started by lindfield, Aug 29, 2013.

  1. Hey guys, just thought I would add a few pictures and introduce myself to fellow bus owners!
    I bought this bus as a part restoration last year and after many hours enjoying/scratching my head in the garage I completed it this spring.
    At 28 years old and after exploring Australia and New Zealand for months in little more than a tradesman van with a mattress chucked in the back I thought I deserved a bit of luxury when I arrived home in Cambridge, so i bought my first air cooled vw!

    Here are a few pictures, The bus was bare metal when i picked it up with just two front seats.

    Being a carpenter/joiner I hand made the interior, finished in Birch ply

    Let me know your thoughts

    Regards Tom vw.jpg vw 3.jpg 2.jpg vw 4.jpg
