Some updates! All windows are out, all rust is repaired and the body have been sanded. Now the body work can start and I hope to have it in primer next week. Then its ready for more sanding and smaller bodywork before topcoat goes on. Maybe VW Marsala red paint?

This is the latest VW find. A 1976 Baywindow bus. Decoded it and found some info. It was built on a Friday, 7 November 1975, painted in a special order color 951077 Lightblue. 4 speed manual transmission. 2 liter engine with carbs. 8 seater, sliding door right, Left hand drive. Canyon brown leatherette interior. Extra option was: Ebersprächer heater, heavy duty shocks, backup lamps, vent wings in cabdoors.
This bus needs new rockers, rear fenders, some new metal in the front fenders and floor. Will get new nice camping interior and a nice paintjob. Will keep you all updated on pics here on the website.
