Bennys VW Transporter is in the garage and got some parts removed. Like bumpers, emblems, lights etc. Preping for a new paintjob! Moved the Highroof bus out to the main hall getting it ready for new brakes, wires, steering parts, shocks etc. Got the new Fiama rooflight/ventilation with 12v fan and some other parts too. Ready to install next time…
The last days the inside of the Highroof bus have got attention. Some support bars for roofbed and overheadlockers was welded in place. Then hours of scrubbing away old glue and oil/wax from the floor was needed, not fun but thanks to the oil on the floor no rust repair was needed. When it all was clean it was time to sand it all down with 240 & 320 grit papers and then zinc primer. Topcoat in glossy white in 2 layers. Looks nice and feels alot more airy now. Like a blank canvas for the new interior to come!
Time for something more modern tech. Living up north its pretty dark during winter time so little extra light is nerver wrong. Found this OSRAM 4D light 210watt online for a good price and in a good size. Made a custom bracket bolted to the numberplate mounts/screws so it fitted in the lower grill, protected and hidden. Heavy duty light relay installed with signal from hi beam light/switch. Great light, big diffrence, recommended!
Looked good slammed on Empi 5 spokes. Visit www.camperontour.com for roadtrip storys and pics with this bus.
The engine bay was blasted out during the week and tonight it was time to paint it all in 2K epoxy primer/sealer for rust protection. Looks clean already!
The fueltank for the Highroof bus is now cleaned and in paint, ready to install. VW anthracite grey. #highroofbayproject
